Surface planning gaps before workflow implementation
Teams can begin building before they have a shared model of what they are building.
Early momentum often competes with the need to make assumptions visible enough to discuss.
“We agree in the meeting, then discover we meant different things once the workflow exists.”

- stated needs vs. observed rework
