⚡️ FEDC 2018 - Rob Harr
summary
Argues that running a short, paid discovery before full estimates prevents building the wrong thing and shrinks budget surprises by surfacing requirements and blockers early. Uses stakeholder interviews, prioritization workshops, and simple prototypes to produce a scoped roadmap and an MVP on paper. Typical cadence is a one-month discovery engagement sold at a low price to unlock accurate estimates for follow‑on work, turning vague half‑million asks into concrete, fundable scopes.
