Roadmaps That Acknowledge Vendor Legal Clocks

Implementation planning collapses when engineering timelines ignore procurement latency. We outline dependency stickers that attach legal milestones without pretending lawyers sprint.

We conclude with facilitation tips for tense steering forums where product wants speed and platform wants proof.
