Scope & boundaries · Web & mobile appsProduct catalogues: scope & boundaries
Define the outcome before requesting a price. Start with product records and search requirements and plan a searchable responsive product library.
Available remotely for local and international enquiries. Platform choice and final scope depend on your requirements.
The project in view
- Start with
- product records and search requirements.
- Proposed result
- a searchable responsive product library.
- A decision to resolve
- missing variants and inconsistent product attributes.
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 responsive product library” as the proposed deliverable; confirm what is included in that description.
- Resolve this boundary early: missing variants and inconsistent product attributes.
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 missing variants and inconsistent product attributes alongside the source material. If it is still unresolved, identify who can answer it and what work depends on the answer.
