Who will use the application and what should each role be able to see or do?

You do not need a technical specification. Start by explaining how the work happens today and what should work better.

Discovery
What we need to understand
A useful discovery conversation focuses on the business, not on programming languages.
Process
What happens today, where are the hand-offs and what approvals are required?
Information
What data, documents and records need to be captured, searched or retained?
Notifications
Who needs to be notified, when should reminders occur and what should be escalated?
Reporting
What operational views, filters, reports or exports are required?
Integrations
What existing systems, Microsoft services, email or APIs need to connect?
From requirement to structure
Turn the process into a clear application model.
The requirement is progressively translated into workflows, roles, screens, business rules and application modules.

Focused Internal Tool
A single workflow, team or operational problem.
Departmental Application
Multiple roles, approvals, dashboards and reporting.
Multi-User Platform
Secure portals, integrations, administration and broader business rules.
Start with the requirement
