Planning, budget and responsibilities
Delivery can be planned in phases or an agreed capacity for a period. Time tracking and budget adjustments are defined in the proposal.
Safe changes require understanding the system first. Data migrations, dependency upgrades and infrastructure changes need their own plan.
