Define the problem, not the screens

Describe the outcome you need and who will use the system. Screens and features follow from that.

Build the smallest useful version first

Launch a focused first release, learn from real use, then extend. It reduces risk and shows value sooner.

Agree how you will decide

Set how changes are requested, who approves them and how progress is shown, for example with a demo every two weeks.
