Draft outline details
Step by step
- Collect the business goals from sponsors: grow web sales, reduce stock errors, retire the old web shop hosting before month 14.
- List candidate capabilities and rate value and risk; choose phase one: web ordering for a pilot product range with live ERP stock.
- Sequence later phases (click and collect, returns, loyalty, analytics) using dependencies and the hosting contract date.
- Planned mistake: place the ERP interface work in phase three because it is "just plumbing". Fix: pull a thin ERP stock interface into phase one, as phase one needs it and it is the highest risk.
- Write exit criteria for each milestone and the first release scope with an out-of-scope list.
- Check the roadmap for value at months 4 and 9 and for implicit vendor dependencies; add the missing ones.
