AOI Scope Objective
To successfully define the project scope and secure authorization to
advance to the AOI Proof of Concept Phase
or AOI Logical Design Phase!
AOI Scope Deliverable
The AOI Scope
Deliverable consists of several disparate documents totaling 20-200 pages. The scope
phase ideally builds upon the AOI Initial Look Phase and further defines every project
requirement (field, table, form, report, and business rule) including implementation time
and cost schedules.
AOI Scope Scenario
The AOI Scope
Deliverable is usually defined over 1-10 weeks of communications between the client
and AOI . This phase deliverable defines basic functionality, implementation time and cost
goals. This scope documents serves as work in process documentation and a communication
vehicle between the client and AOI.
Ideally this deliverable is defined in greater detail as the project
advances. However, this phase may be employed to quickly determine rough costs for budget
planning purposes. The AOI Scope Schedule is used to
record the scope tasks and their associated costs.
AOI Scope Contract Issues
This phase is relatively short and 'technically' only an early planning
stage. Thus, the contract issues associated with this step are typically limited to
pricing and confidentiality agreements. Although contract issues related to ownership,
patent and copyright may be addressed.
