- When scaling delivery across teams
Before vs. after
Before
Strategy takes months to become product. Stakeholder input leaks into development. Revisions pile up. Teams wait on approvals. Velocity stalls.
After
Clear path from intent to artefact. Stakeholders aligned early. Decisions prototyped fast. Revisions drop. Work moves forward without rework.
