QA walked the main path three times on real devices and flagged edge cases around prototype sign-off checkpoints. Next, we recommend to require a change request for any scope change. If more features are added, scope the blast radius before scheduling.
Risks & Mitigations
The same requirement can sound different across departments; writing it down helps align decisions on requirements clarification workshop. QA walked the main path three times on real devices and flagged edge cases around requirements clarification workshop. Next, we recommend to store backups in a separate folder with dated labels.
