Create a strategic plan to launch an employee portal. This helps deal with out-of-scope requests that could potentially detail the project and helps deliver a quality product in time.

User testing doesn't end after development. Design is a constant iteration of improving the experience for the end user. Always find ways to collect and listen to your user's feedback.

Involve engineering upfront. This helps to reduce any rework later on as an understanding of the technical limitations upfront will help to inform your design strategy.
