Hypothetical example
Put the decision in context.
A specification describes only successful submissions. Add roles, invalid inputs and external-failure cases before choosing the implementation.
Take these points into your brief.
Use this checklist to record what is agreed and what still needs confirmation.
- Actors and data flow
- Anonymised examples and sensitive fields
- Approvals and failure behaviour
For each item, keep the requirement, the supporting file or observation, and the person responsible for confirming it together.
Prepare your brief: your next step
Keep one current brief with a named owner for each unresolved input. Mark an item confirmed only when its source or responsible reviewer is recorded. Share only the information needed for the next decision, using appropriate channels for private documents or account access. Resolve changes in a dated version before asking the delivery team to proceed.
