# A good conversation is not yet a clear assignment.

The client is interested. You are discussing a solution, timing and the next step. But what their business needs, what you are proposing and what the team can actually deliver are not quite the same thing.

There is a product or technology in mind, but no clear business outcome yet.

The proposal appealed to the client. The team still needs to understand the work.

Important agreements have accumulated in conversations. Not all have reached the team.
