How this tool works

Start with the problem, affected people and today’s workflow. Then describe the outcome and constraints. Blank answers become investigation questions rather than invented requirements.

Read the practical guide first

Describe what happens today and why it gets in the way. Example: our team copies orders between two systems.

Think of the people doing the work and those waiting for it. Example: the operations team and customers.

Existing systems, manual workarounds and what already works well.

Describe a useful outcome rather than a list of features. Example: orders reach fulfilment without retyping.

Name a task you can test or a baseline you need to measure. Do not invent a target number.

Systems, data access, budget, deadlines and people. Explain why a deadline matters, or leave it open.

Decisions, dependencies or concerns to investigate. Example: who can provide access to the order system?
