Separate the work.
Then verify it.

The swimlanes session separates research, agents, and review. Its staged process also makes room for checking and release.

Open the working sequence
  1. Plan — establish what should be built.
  2. Act — carry out the implementation.
  3. Verify — check it against the plan.
  4. QA — examine the result.
  5. Release train — take the work through release.
