Fleshing it out

Bridging the gaps

“Climb every mountain, ford every stream”

Post-launch

We still don’t understand...

Those known unknowns

External validation of workLightweight document + “is this right”?

Churn from design & development overlapProblem to solve, or natural consequence?

Understanding customer expectationsHow to accurately understand leeway

Lessons we’ve learned

(usually the hard way)

Start wellSet the tone, get the lie of the land

Collaborate throughoutDon’t save it for high days and holy days

Pursue correct fidelitySeason to taste: not too much, not too little

Communicate the vision stronglyEveryone has one eye on the big picture

Narrow all gapsAcross disciplines and organisational boundaries

Thank you.
