Northstar Development / INSIGHT

A web application scope that can be tested

Describe behaviour before implementation.

Describe behaviour before implementation

Turn a broad application idea into the people, inputs, actions and outcomes it needs to support. Identify roles, permissions and the data each role should see. Describe the exceptions as well as the successful path.

Make the scope reviewable

Write acceptance criteria around observable behaviour. Include integration dependencies, access requirements and who supplies the content. A clear scope gives design, development and review the same reference point.

Bring these questions to the first conversation

• What should a visitor or staff member be able to do?
• Which products, content or systems must the website connect?
• Who supplies the verified information and approves the finished work?
• How will the main journeys and the handover be tested?

Business websites, web applications and integrations built with a clear scope. Plan the operating details, deliver the experience and leave your team with an understandable handover. A focused brief gives the project a useful starting point and exposes the dependencies before delivery dates are agreed.
