Five Things to Check When Delivering Fast

Short summary

When shipping with AI velocity, misaligned expectations catch you weeks later—not because code is broken, but because 'done' meant different things. Five checks prevent this: align on quality standards upfront, schedule reviews explicitly, separate critical work from follow-ups, show mid-point progress to catch mismatches early, and walkthrough intent at handover. These turn lengthy feedback cycles into focused iterations.

• •Clarify what 'done' means with stakeholders before starting work
• •Schedule review dates explicitly to avoid silent delays
• •Separate critical fixes from follow-up improvements to manage expectations
• •Show mid-point progress and walkthroughs to catch mismatches early
