Each stage leaves a reviewable artifact or decision.
The buyer problem
Start with the operating condition.
Configuration and existing products do not adequately support a bounded operating requirement, user group, or decision path.
Potential deliverables
A package built for acceptance.
- 01
Requirements and decision log
- 02
User flows and interface design
- 03
Application implementation
- 04
Functional and acceptance testing
- 05
Documentation and operational handoff
Acceptance evidence
What makes the work inspectable.
- Requirement-to-feature traceability
- Test and issue records
- Demonstrable accepted behaviors
Dependencies
What the package needs.
- Named product and acceptance owners
- Approved data and integration boundaries
- Hosting, security, and support decisions
Bounded delivery
One capability. Four control points.
The exact work changes by requirement. The need for visible ownership and evidence does not.
- 01
Frame
Name the user, owner, decision, and operating constraint.
- 02
Bound
Confirm inputs, dependencies, exclusions, and retained authority.
- 03
Deliver
Build with review points and reproducible test evidence.
- 04
Transfer
Leave accepted artifacts, risks, documentation, and owners.
Start with the work
Is custom software development the right boundary?
Bring a safe requirement summary. BCA will help determine whether the work fits a separable package.
