Why the work starts with a written scope
Verbal alignment is not a delivery plan. Here is what we put on paper before anyone writes code or joins a standup.
A written scope is the smallest document that lets both sides say no. It names the outcome, the stack, the people, the time box, and what happens when the work changes.
We put in: who owns product decisions, where the code lives, what “done” looks like for the first milestone, and how either side stops the work with notice.
We leave out: guaranteed dates we have not scheduled, a technology we have not assessed, and access we do not have. If those are missing, the work has not started — it has only been discussed.
