What's included

Give each recommendation an operational reason.

The final scope names the deliverables, dependencies, and review points before work begins. The work below provides the starting point for that discussion.
  • Operating-needs discovery. Identify the processes, users, locations, and business priorities the technology must support.
  • System inventory. Document the agreed applications, vendors, licenses, integrations, and account responsibilities.
  • Dependency mapping. Show where data, access, and business processes rely on connections between systems.
  • Cost review. Review available subscription, support, and implementation costs with their renewal and agreement context.
  • Risk assessment. Identify observable access, continuity, maintenance, and vendor-dependency concerns within the engagement scope.
  • Option evaluation. Compare practical alternatives against requirements, effort, compatibility, and ongoing administration.
  • Implementation roadmap. Sequence recommendations by importance, dependencies, resources, and disruption considerations.
  • Decision documentation. Record the rationale, open questions, owners, and approvals needed to move forward.
