FDE Whitepaper

A document asking what this role actually is

The name FDE is used differently at every company. Solutions engineer, AX lead, product manager, founder — the titles vary, but the work overlaps a great deal. What that work actually is has been written down nowhere.

This whitepaper asks that one question. What does the role of walking into the field, defining the problem yourself, and building the thing essentially do?

It is not a document one person writes and hands over. It is a place this community fills in from here.

What it asks

  • What is this role deciding
  • Where does a methodology break first when it crosses domains
  • What remains when a problem defined in the field meets a decision made elsewhere
  • How do you tell that someone is doing this well
Status
Still empty. It fills in as case talks accumulate.
