First, give conclusions that can be used for decision-making
Effective research can translate the business language into an estimateable range, recording the quotations, non-inclusion and questions to be validated. Simple projects can be completed through questionnaires and short sessions, while complex projects may require on-site interviews, systematic diagnostics and prototypes.
What conditions need to be identified before judgement is made?
The same question may have different answers under different business, data and project phases. It is suggested that the following conditions be checked and that the common findings on the web be incorporated into their own projects.
Suggested order of advance
First, we'll be clear about the target and the border.
Collecting of objectives, processes, information and information on existing systems.
Validation Key Dependence
Identification functions, non-functionalities, interfaces, migration and delivery requirements.
Development of assessable outcomes
List assumptions, risks, exclusions and questions to be validated.
Make sure you decide the next step with the real results.
Estimates by phase or work package, with an indication of how the calculation was changed.
How do you understand it in the actual business?
The number of two “member applet” pages is similar, one showing information only, and the other dealing with multiple store inventories, reserves, refunds, and financial reconciliations, with significant cost variations. Pre-offer confirmation rules and interfaces allow for real comparability of different programs.
The easiest pit to step on.
Only for functional lists, without a description of the rules of operation
Select with lowest quote, ignore testing and deployment
Hide all the unknowns in the fixed gross price.
How should we end up receiving and confirming?
The official offer should be traced back to scope, delivery, technical conditions, personnel, periodicity and risk, and indicate whether taxes and charges, cloud resources, third-party services and transportation are included.
When preparing to communicate with suppliers or internal teams, it is recommended that current processes, representative samples, existing systems, planning time and budget levels be brought. First, the unknown items are clearly marked, and then the decision is made to use diagnostics, PoC, fixed-range projects or ongoing research and development, which is usually more reliable than a direct demand for a price and duration without borders.
