Do or Do Not

These famous words of Yoda from the Star Wars franchise captures the need for full commitment or full measures.

In light of this, one may question the practicality or relevance of the iterative and incremental methodology. Perhaps at the intersection of these two schools of thought, we can envision a worldview where a merger takes place, where one is absorbed by the other. For eg., whilst operating under the iterative model, each iteration can be loaded with ones’ full focus or commitment.

Here, however, care must be taken to delicately balance catering for subsequent iterations whilst fully committing to the current iteration.

Reminds me of another methodology applied to an existentialist topic, where one embraces and immerses themselves in the Now whilst leaving room to fully understand and cater for the Big Picture—the entirety of the existence, past, present, future.
