What is the main advice the author provides about adopting a new method?

  1. To ensure it is widely adopted by other teams first

  2. To stay in 'experimentation mode' if a method doesn't work

  3. To adopt and adhere strictly to one method

  4. To choose a method based on its ease of use

The correct answer is: To stay in 'experimentation mode' if a method doesn't work

The main advice the author provides about adopting a new method is to stay in 'experimentation mode' if the initial method does not work. This means that instead of strictly adhering to one method, it is better to continuously experiment and modify the method until it works effectively. Option A, ensuring it is widely adopted by other teams first, may not always be feasible or necessary for adoption. Option C, strictly adhering to one method, may limit creativity and hinder progress if the method is not effective. Option D, choosing a method based on its ease of use, does not guarantee its effectiveness in achieving desired outcomes.
