Draft outline details
Step by step
- State the need and the criteria; agree weights with role-played IT and e-commerce leaders.
- Estimate for each option: cost over five years (verify figures with real quotes), time to market, integration effort with the ERP and CRM, exit cost.
- Score and compute totals; run sensitivity on integration and cost weights.
- Design a two-week PoC for the top two options: order import to the ERP, stock lookup latency, promotion day load.
- Planned mistake: the first score sheet is a feature checklist with no data ownership or exit scores. Fix: add architecture-fit and exit-cost criteria and re-score.
- Write the recommendation with its conditions.
