Portfolio artifacts: the proof you bring

Work through this case: "Multiple choice - Which two portfolio artifacts should you bring to every loop and why?" Say what you would do and why.

Step 1 of 3

Talk is beat 4. The portfolio is beats 5 and 6 made tangible: artifacts that prove you've actually done the work, not just memorized the vocabulary. Seven pieces, mapped to the spine. In a loop, the candidate who opens a real current-state map beats the candidate who describes one.

Interview tell

Bring artifact 01 (current-state map) and artifact 05 (pilot plan with guardrails) to every loop. They most cleanly demonstrate the discipline interviewers screen for: finding the queue and scoping the blast radiusHow much breaks if a change goes wrong; the scope of potential damage. Press Enter for the full definition.. The other five support; these two lead.

Each artifact answers one spine beat. Artifacts 01 (current-state map) and 05 (pilot plan) are flagged violet. Bring those two to every loop; the rest support.
