Why another model?!?
                    •    Iterative approaches produce better outcomes
                         •   Build-Measure-Learn (Eric Ries - Lean Startup)
                         •   Plan-Do-Check-Act (Deming)
                         •   Observe-Orient-Decide-Act (John Boyd)

                    •    Higher value from quick iterations (aka Fail Fast!)

                    •    Need something light weight

                    •    Less costly approach to suit the times

                    •    Experience shows we can learn a lot in one day
