Approach
Decide before accelerating.
Our method connects understanding, trade-offs, construction, production deployment and handover.
ApproachWorking framework
Five stages, each with an expected outcome.
01 · Need
Understand the problem
Identify the people, uses, constraints and decision to make.
02 · Options
Compare before choosing
Assess feasibility, trade-offs, dependencies, operating costs and the cost of future changes.
03 · System
Design the system
Define the architecture, data, interfaces and responsibilities.
04 · Reliability
Prepare for real use
Test, secure, deploy and observe in line with the system’s risks and responsibilities.
05 · Handover
Prepare the handover
Document decisions, transfer context and prepare the handover.
Decision principles
Four criteria for making decisions.
Ways of working
From a short framing exercise to full delivery.
An engagement may begin with framing, continue through design, or cover delivery, production deployment and handover. Responsibilities and deliverables are defined before work starts.
Next
A decision to clarify or a system to build?
Describe the decision to make, the system involved and the known constraints.
