In this module, you will learn best practices for communicating and presenting the Technical Design Solution and implementation roadmap to your customer stakeholders and decision-makers. You will learn how to incorporate customer feedback in your solution and manage design limitations through the implementation roadmap before you move for a sign-off on the solution and the roadmap.
