WIP: Added iteration checklist

Jeremy Watson (ex-GitLab) requested to merge jeremy-master-patch-72191 into master

Why is this change being made?

Iteration is one of our core values, but we don't have many examples or a framework of how to improve at it. There's plenty of guidance and examples of our other values. There's probably more we can do to help PMs think iteratively and to check themselves on whether or not there's an opportunity to break an issue down further or to change course on a proposal.

This MR attempts to add a series of questions a PM can walk through if they're looking for inspiration. I personally had a hard time thinking of an elegant framework that worked well; when it comes to iteration, I instead think about a pre-flight checklist that I think about if I'm ever in doubt that we've arrived at an MVC.
