It rains truth to talk about how the processes and ideals of the 2010s start-up, "family," agile, many-hats, now-obsolete mindset. The scope, budget, timeline trifecta is now something of a relic and we have improved our stacks and flows beyond the description and diagnostic purposes of scope, budget, timeline. Thoroughness in tech, especially fintech, where I sit, is a much better consideration for product managers to collaborate with engineers and then internal, vertical stakeholders .Love this wrap. Thanks for sharing, James 🙏

This is an excellent way of reframing the discussion on scope! What I have found is that the discussion on non-functional requirements is usually lacking or overlooked, leading to the feeling that products and features should be developed faster than they are currently.

I will definitely use this method, both for managing expectations to the stakeholders, and as a point of discussion for my engineering team, so that we are always aware of the level of thoroughness necessary for the project to be on time and within budget.
