Requirements Gathering and Process Mapping
Requirements gathering and process mapping serve as the cornerstone uon which we construct a roadmap tailored to your unique business needs. This is a collaborative exploration with you to understand the current state of your technology stack and how it might better serve your needs. Together, we gather and categorize business requirements, outline major process flows, and craft a strategic technology overlay. This phase is not only about understanding your organization’s current landscape but also envisioning the path to future success. The focus is on delivering key documents and insights that will guide the entire technology implementation journey. Key deliverables often include:
Requirements Collection. Comprehensive business requirements, categorized and prioritized.
Roadmap. A strategic roadmap outlining the planned technology initiatives and their timelines.
Process Maps. Visual representations of current and proposed workflows, illustrating process improvements.
Team Mapping. An organizational mapping that identifies team roles and responsibilities in the context of the new processes.
