Design phases lack clear deliverables and responsibilities
Outputs and responsibilities are unclear across research, concept development, engineering and launch.
Three-step solution method
- Define the questions to resolve, deliverables to produce and people responsible for approval at each stage.
- Create stage checklists and a handover process for design changes.
- Use project retrospectives to refine deliverable boundaries and clarify outstanding work.

- Deliverables Checklist
- Responsibility Matrix
Verification Approach
Check for missing deliverables, duplicated work and unresolved questions.
