Embracing uncertainty with radical honesty
summary
Mercedes‑Benz One‑Touch‑Retail faces a pile of enterprise demands, cannot talk to salespeople for legal reasons, and forms a small task force that runs a hybrid delivery hackathon to rescope priorities. The effort expands from 4 to 10 teams across three continents, produces 70 ideas in two days, then runs two‑day in‑person user sessions where sales reps validated minimalist flows. The result is stakeholder alignment, usable MVP options, and a repeatable way to reduce pressure.
