Define the outcome before requesting a price. Start with approved resource entries and categories and plan a searchable information directory.
Available remotely for local and international enquiries. Platform choice and final scope depend on your requirements.
The project in view
- Start with
- approved resource entries and categories.
- Proposed result
- a searchable information directory.
- A decision to resolve
- stale links and unclear information ownership.
This is a planning example. It does not describe a completed client engagement.
Scope & boundaries for this project
- Choose devices and the main user task first. Decide whether browser access, offline work or device features are required.
- Use “a searchable information directory” as the proposed deliverable; confirm what is included in that description.
- Resolve this boundary early: stale links and unclear information ownership.
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 stale links and unclear information ownership alongside the source material. If it is still unresolved, identify who can answer it and what work depends on the answer.
