Delivery depends on sponsors, users, developers and operators sharing an understanding of outcomes. Explore expectations and constraints rather than assuming that everyone defines success alike.

1.1People: Teams and stakeholders

Concept

Delivery depends on sponsors, users, developers and operators sharing an understanding of outcomes. Explore expectations and constraints rather than assuming that everyone defines success alike. When conflict arises, examine its causes and context before choosing a response. Clear roles, appropriate autonomy, coaching and removal of external blockers help a team deliver.

How it works / steps

  1. Map stakeholders, expectations and decision rights.
  2. Explore conflict causes and discuss options together.
  3. Tailor communication and close the feedback loop.

Workplace example

In an invoice AI pilot, finance may prioritize avoiding incorrect payments while engineering prioritizes response time. Agree who decides exceptions and how quality and time are measured before acceptance.
