Discover the context
Understand the business goal, users, current systems, data, constraints and the decisions that need to be made.
Define the commitment
Agree deliverables, exclusions, dependencies, decision owners, milestones and the evidence that will be used for acceptance.
Deliver in reviewable increments
Design, implement and review the work in bounded steps. Record decisions and handle new requests through an agreed change process.
Validate the output
Use the appropriate functional, technical, creative or learning evidence. Report unresolved limitations instead of hiding them.
Complete the handover
Transfer the agreed assets, documentation, access and operating guidance. Ongoing maintenance or support is a separate explicit commitment.
