Scope & boundaries · SaaS developmentSupplier portals: scope & boundaries
Define the outcome before requesting a price. Start with supplier submissions and review criteria and plan a submission-to-approval workflow.
Available remotely for local and international enquiries. Platform choice and final scope depend on your requirements.
The project in view
- Start with
- supplier submissions and review criteria.
- Proposed result
- a submission-to-approval workflow.
- A decision to resolve
- suppliers modifying approved records.
This is a planning example. It does not describe a completed client engagement.
Scope & boundaries for this project
- Select one end-to-end user journey for the first release. Define account roles and who owns each record.
- Use “a submission-to-approval workflow” as the proposed deliverable; confirm what is included in that description.
- Resolve this boundary early: suppliers modifying approved records.
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 suppliers modifying approved records alongside the source material. If it is still unresolved, identify who can answer it and what work depends on the answer.
