About this service

Summary

With over a decade of rolling up my sleeves and working closely with software and product teams, I've picked up a thing or two about turning bright ideas into real, workable projects. This service is all about making sure your initial spark of inspiration is clearly and precisely laid out, ready to be handed off to a software house or development team without a hitch.

Thanks to a solid background in both project and product management, I've got a pretty good handle on what it takes to get a project off the ground smoothly. This service isn't just about dotting the i's and crossing the t's; it's a deep dive into your idea, turning it into a fleshed-out project plan. We're talking about setting clear goals, drawing up the boundaries, pinpointing key milestones, and nailing down the tech needs—all tailored to make sure your project hits the ground running.

So, whether you're still noodling on the basics of your concept or you've got a half-baked plan that needs fleshing out, my project scoping service is here to help you take that next big step. It's about getting your vision down on paper (or screen) in a way that's ready for action, making the journey from "what if" to "what's next" as smooth as possible.

What's included

Feasibility - Checking if the Idea Can Fly
Before diving deep, we'll take a good look at your idea to see if it's something that can actually work out. This means looking at whether it's technically possible, if there's a real need for it out there, and whether the numbers make sense financially.
Requirements - Getting All the Details Down
I will jot down everything your project needs to do and have, making sure we're on the same page about what we're building. This is like creating a wish list for your project, covering both the must-haves and the nice-to-haves.
Scoping - Drawing the Blueprint
Here, we sketch out what we're aiming to build and define the boundaries. It's about making sure we know what's in scope and what's not, so we don't end up chasing after things we didn't plan for.
Timeline - Planning the Journey
We'll lay out a timeline, marking the big milestones and when we hope to hit them. It's like setting up a roadmap for our adventure, making sure we have a clear idea of where we're going and how long it'll take.
Risk Assessment - Spotting Trouble Before It Happens
We'll take a look ahead for any bumps in the road and think about how we can dodge them. It's all about being prepared and not getting caught off guard.
Vendor Recommendation - Choosing the Right Tools and Friends for the Job
I'll help you pick the best* technology and partners for your project. It's like making sure you have the right gear and team for your expedition. *right
Governance - Setting the Rules of the Game
I'll outline how decisions get made, who gets to make them, and how we'll keep everyone in the loop. It's about making sure everyone knows the play and how to stay in sync.
QA Plan - Making Sure It Works Fine
We'll define what quality looks like for your project and how we'll test for it. This way, we can be sure that what we're building isn't just good, but great.
