The project in view

Start with
sample stock records and refresh intervals.
Proposed result
a staff-facing availability lookup.
A decision to resolve
cached stock being treated as live availability.

This is a planning example. It does not describe a completed client engagement.

Systems & file handoffs for this project

  • Confirm the source format for sample stock records and refresh intervals and the required delivery format for a staff-facing availability lookup.
  • Carry a stable reference through each handoff so a reviewer can trace cached stock being treated as live availability.
  • Begin with a reviewed file exchange if a live integration is unnecessary. Confirm system access before promising an integration.

Questions to answer together

  • Which file formats or systems must exchange information?
  • Who owns access, exports and destination records?
  • How will a failed handoff or superseded file be identified?

What to have at the end

A handoff specification covering formats, permissions, ownership and failure handling.

Record the decision on cached stock being treated as live availability alongside the source material. If it is still unresolved, identify who can answer it and what work depends on the answer.
