Step 02 / Planning Phase
Strategy & Planning
A planning stage focused on sequencing the work, validating direction, and building a roadmap teams can execute with clarity.
Stage overview
Once the requirements are clear, strategy and planning convert them into an actionable path. This stage defines what gets done first, how work will be approached, where decisions need stakeholder input, and what success looks like at each milestone. The goal is to move from ideas into an intentional delivery plan that teams can trust.
What happens in this stage
- Translate discovery inputs into milestones, priorities, and sequencing
- Align solution direction, scope boundaries, and delivery tradeoffs
- Set expectations for collaboration, reviews, and release planning
What this stage produces
- A delivery roadmap with practical milestones
- Clear implementation priorities and stage ownership
- An agreed direction for scope, timing, and execution rhythm
Why this stage matters
- Keeps teams focused on the highest-value work first
- Improves coordination before build activity begins
- Makes execution more predictable across stakeholders
