What is 3 amigos?

The Three Amigos is an organization pattern where a product person, a developer, and a tester work together to define each feature ahead of the team by a week or two, ensuring that developers have a clear understanding of what needs to be done. This approach saves time and reduces confusion during development. It allows for initial explorations and thinking to increase certainty through research before development starts. It emphasizes the importance of preparation to avoid confusion and prevent wasted time during sprint planning meetings, which can occur when teams lack adequate preparation.
