The Secret Ingredient: Using Agile Principles to Perfect My Cheesecake

The Secret Ingredient: Using Agile Principles to Perfect My Cheesecake 🍰

Who knew baking could be so...agile? 🤯 Turns out, applying the principles of iterative development to my cheesecake recipe has been a game-changer!

Instead of following a rigid recipe, I'm embracing sprints of experimentation. Each bake is a user story, with clear goals (crispy crust, creamy filling, perfect swirl) and acceptance criteria (taste test approval!).

Daily stand-ups with my taste testers (aka family) help identify impediments (too much sugar, not enough lemon) and adjustments (more lemon, less sugar) are made before the next iteration.

This process has led to some epic fails (burnt crusts, watery filling), but also some amazing successes (a cheesecake so good, it disappeared in minutes!).

The key takeaway? Agile isn't just for software development - it can be applied to anything, even baking!
