summary
SRE teams adopt five concrete practices: run 30‑minute user interviews with diverse roles instead of assuming workflows, ask non‑leading questions, and run week‑long prototyping sprints to validate build‑vs‑buy choices; split big changes into pilots (one team for a CI pilot) and six‑week milestones with six‑week roadmaps that list user‑centric goals and tactical deliverables. A perfectly engineered continuous delivery pipeline at BuzzFeed broke design and QA workflows (they lost six ready environments), so pilots and followups prove whether changes actually work.
