What matters in practice
- 01
Define who owns discovery, delivery, QA, deployment, and support.
- 02
Share reproducible acceptance criteria instead of design intent alone.
- 03
Protect client data and production access with least-privilege workflows.
- 04
Measure lead time, regressions, and handoff quality—not hours in isolation.
