It’s like you need to try something to see if you are any good at it.
Maybe it will work out for you or maybe it won’t.
If you want to paint your bedroom a certain color but you are not sure if you will like having that color on the wall. It either works or it doesn’t.

Also, the literal meaning is: A machine functions properly or it does not function properly. One is being asked to accept the reality of the situation. By analogy the meaning can be extended to a situation. Example: The schedule either works or it doesn't. If it doesn't work, we will revise the schedule.
