Feedback Loop
A cycle where you release something, gather how users respond, and feed that learning into the next release. The tighter and faster the loop, the quicker you improve.
Why it matters
Startups win by learning faster than competitors, and the feedback loop is the engine of that learning. Shortening it, from ship to insight to next change, compounds into a real advantage over time.
For example
A team ships on Monday, watches how users behave by Wednesday, and folds what it learned into Friday's release, tightening the loop each week.
