Roll out
Move into production, measure adoption, and leave behind a durable handoff.
When FDE is the right model
The complexity is organizational, not just technical.
If delivery depends on workflow knowledge, real data, existing systems, security, and team adoption, a simple task listing is rarely enough.
The problem is clear but the solution path is not
Delivery crosses systems, data, or teams
The work needs embedded or ongoing collaboration
Someone must own production rollout and adoption
