Driving clarity in ambiguous projects
summary
Recommends concrete artifacts: write a product brief / PRFAQ that names target users and exit criteria; run a small core team using RACI and give that nucleus a two-week deep-dive (50%+ time) to lock vocabulary and a technical plan. Use decision logs/documents instead of long threads, iterate with build–measure–learn loops, and call a clear finish line repeatedly. Gives a toy character‑creator example and warns about elegant generic systems that miss customer needs.
