Start with the problem
On This Lesson 4 topics
This lesson is planned. The outline below lists the topics it will cover. The full lesson has not been published yet.
In this lesson
frame an evaluation around the problem before any product is named.
Planned topics
- Write the problem, constraints, and success measures first; options come later.
- Include the do-nothing and build-it-ourselves options as real candidates.
- State what is out of scope so the evaluation stays small.
- Name the decision owner and the date; evaluations without a deadline expand.
Draft outline details
Demonstration
A one-page evaluation charter: problem (FulfillCo returns involve several steps across two systems and compensation on failure), constraints (team skills, compliance, budget), options (workflow engine, hand-built sagas, do nothing), decision owner, date.
Check your understanding
Why include "build it ourselves" as an option?
Show answer
It is a real alternative and sets the baseline the products must beat.
