Scope & boundaries · AI automationSupplier catalogue imports: scope & boundaries
Define the outcome before requesting a price. Start with sample product files and required attributes and plan a validated import file with rejected rows.
Available remotely for local and international enquiries. Platform choice and final scope depend on your requirements.
The project in view
- Start with
- sample product files and required attributes.
- Proposed result
- a validated import file with rejected rows.
- A decision to resolve
- changed product codes and discontinued items.
This is a planning example. It does not describe a completed client engagement.
Scope & boundaries for this project
- Map the existing process before selecting automation. Keep a manual route for exceptions.
- Use “a validated import file with rejected rows” as the proposed deliverable; confirm what is included in that description.
- Resolve this boundary early: changed product codes and discontinued items.
Questions to answer together
- Who uses the result, and what decision does it support?
- Which part of the current process is included?
- Which exceptions and adjacent tasks are excluded?
What to have at the end
A bounded scope with an owner, an intended result and explicit exclusions.
Record the decision on changed product codes and discontinued items alongside the source material. If it is still unresolved, identify who can answer it and what work depends on the answer.
