Start with users, decisions and the systems that hold your data. Agree the first useful release and the criteria for accepting it.
Business applications
Plan internal tools, customer portals and operational workflows around access roles and real tasks.
Connected systems
Define API contracts, source-of-truth ownership, retries and exception handling before connecting platforms.
A reviewable release
Agree test coverage, release environments, documentation and handoff with the team that will operate the system.
