Intended outcome: A one-page current-state map and a short problem statement.

Inventory the work before buying another system

Map the current workflow, systems, owners, data, pain points, and non-negotiable constraints before writing requirements.

    Name the business outcome in observable terms.

  2. 02

    Walk one ordinary case from trigger to completion.

  3. 03

    List systems, spreadsheets, messages, owners, and handoffs.

  4. 04

    Mark duplicate entry, delay, error, access, and reporting problems.

  5. 05

    Record constraints, current costs, and the manual fallback.
