Start with the problem
A compelling demo is useful. A well-defined problem makes it actionable. Write down who the solution serves, what they do today, and how you will tell whether the new approach is better. Record a baseline before the experiment.
Bring engineering into the first conversation
Agree on approved tools, permitted data, identity, and the environment for the prototype. Name the person who will review the project. Early collaboration helps you avoid rebuilding work around assumptions that do not fit the organization.
Prepare a reviewable package
Include the workflow and user stories; source code or a platform export; a data and permissions map; test cases and evaluation results; known limitations and failure modes; and an owner, cost estimate, and support plan.
Expect a decision, then keep collaborating
An engineering team may accept the implementation, request changes, or rebuild parts of it. The business expert stays involved in acceptance testing and adoption. Responsibility for production release follows the organization’s existing process.
Measure the work after launch
Track quality, use, support effort, and time saved after review and rework. Ask the people doing the work what improved and what became harder. Use that evidence to decide what to change next.
Make it practical for your organization.
Explore your starting point across people, skills, data, governance, and delivery.
