I used to develop apps and websites in the pharma space. It’s a heavily regulated field that requires submitting wireframes and functional specs to the FDA for compliance purposes. This ended up creating a huge waterfall before any code was written and usually locked in the requirements - but the devs and designers had their guardrails and specifications so they could both go off on their merry way for a couple of months. I was surprised how alien this process was when getting into start up’s but there’s obviously a middle ground of light wireframes and review before you find out all of the horrible details that weren’t covered by the individual teams.
