    Agree on priorities.

    Define the problem, the constraints, and what a useful result looks like.

  2. 02
    Review working software.

    See progress in short cycles and use what we learn to choose the next step.

  3. 03
    Make it maintainable.

    Document decisions, test the important behavior, and plan for life after launch.
