My advice

Choose your tools carefully (2-3 max). Trello is awesome. Google is OK. Pick passionate user and keep the focus group small (no more than 10-15)

It will take a lot of your time (about 1/3 of mine). Be prepared. Split the design apart into pieces and only show low-fi wireframes

Kindly explain that your role is to say “no” a lot Create a timeline with clear milestones

It’s not design by committee
