LAYER 6 · CLIENT · STAGE 5

Stakeholders for FDEs

Quick answer

Working with the people who sponsor, use and block a deployment. A technically perfect build fails if the right people are not on board.

Practise it

  1. 1. Map sponsor, user and blocker for an account
  2. 2. Write a weekly update a sponsor will read
  3. 3. Handle a disagreement with a customer engineer

Where it sits

Stage 5 of the roadmap: Customer discovery. You can turn a vague brief into scope, a design and a plan a client signs.
