Accelerator Phase Plan

Don't just say "we are doing Agile." Define exactly what "Done" looks like for each stage.

1

POC Phase

Focus: Feasibility

  • ✅ Prove 3rd party API handles 10k req/sec.
  • ✅ Validate data model with Architecture.
Exit Gate: "It works in Staging."
2

Pilot Phase

Focus: Usability / Ops

  • ✅ Onboard 5 internal users.
  • ✅ Runbook validated by Support.
Exit Gate: "Real users are completing the flow."
3

MVP Phase

Focus: Value / Scale

  • ✅ 100% Traffic Rollout.
  • ✅ Marketing Launch.
Exit Gate: "Business outcomes achieved."
