Several years ago at X5, we encountered problems in managing expectations.
The deadlines were blurred, the results of the initiatives did not meet the needs of clients, and the interaction of the teams descended into email “football”.
I’ll tell you about the experience of X5 Tech:
- how the introduction of architectural C4 notation and pre-assessment of IT initiatives changed our production cycle;
- why does design as a competency make so many artefacts;
- why we do requirements tracing and that's fine.
- how expectations are managed in our current design framework, from exploration to system handover or system change to support the release team;
- proven tools for managing expectations;
- how to measure expectation management and what conclusions can be drawn.
