Integration walkthroughs before commit day

A short method for walking planned integrations so risks show up early.

Replace adjectives with observable outcomes. “Reliable” becomes a named retry policy and an ownership line for night-of response.

Name open risks early so engineering can challenge them. Hidden risks become schedule surprises.

Practice on real integrations from your backlog—the muscle builds faster than on toy scenarios alone.
