00:45:00 In this section, speaker Yves discusses his insight about how information transforms organizations, specifically during the discovery phase. Yves explains that in this phase, organizations should avoid jumping to conclusions about the importance of a project, but instead prioritize them based on their potential impact and technical risk. However, once a project passes the discovery stage, it can either be considered a success or a failure. To avoid repeating the same mistakes in the future, Yves suggests that organizations should only continue developing projects that have been successfully discovered through the use of a well-defined roadmap. Yves also mentions that the discovery phase can not only be applied to technical, but any other projects as well. He emphasizes that while a project can start at the discovery phase with only a small team, it can eventually grow into a larger project with many stakeholders involved, making decision-making more challenging.

00:55:00 In this section, the speaker addresses the risks associated with the implementation of the "Discovery" method. This method involves a cycle that can be considered difficult to control, as there is a risk of deriving from the method. The speaker mentions the risk of not having decided on the time to be allocated to each stage, resulting in an extended duration of each stage. He also notes the danger of adopting a superficial approach to judgments and no critical thinking on the level of clarity of requirements. The speaker also mentions the risk of taking the different outputs of the method and branching them off as an administrative responsibility, which can lead to a lack of critical thinking in decision-making. The speaker advises considering the intention behind the output settings and avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach. The speaker mentions the importance of gathering feedback from stakeholders and reiterating the process to make improvements. The focus is on understanding the context in which the method is being used and how it can be modified to fit the context.
