# Business & systems analysis

When requirements are unclear or teams describe the same process differently, we help turn the operation into a shared basis for decisions. Start with a new idea, a difficult workflow or a system that no longer fits the business.

THE WORK

## What the engagement can include

We agree the deliverables around your system, priorities and scope.

### An operation model

Workflows, participants, information and handoffs, including exceptions and the work around the software.

### Agreed requirements

Business rules, responsibilities, priorities and acceptance criteria that can guide design and review.

### A practical scope

A proposed first delivery, open questions, assumptions and dependencies to resolve before implementation.

WHEN TO START

## A useful fit when…

-   A new product or internal tool needs a clear scope.
-   Work depends on handoffs, spreadsheets or rules that only a few people understand.
-   An existing system needs to change without losing essential business knowledge.

THE APPROACH

## How we work through it

1.  Review the existing process, examples and available information with the people doing the work.
2.  Model the important flows and test the requirements against normal and difficult cases.
3.  Agree priorities and the next step: architecture, a focused build or further investigation.
