Why this matters
Prepare a scope that lets agencies estimate the same job and reduces expensive ambiguity later.
List objectives, audiences, page types, integrations, content owners, languages, migration needs, compliance needs, launch date and support expectations.
Action plan
List objectives, audiences, page types, integrations, content owners, languages, migration needs, compliance needs, launch date and support expectations.
- Which page types are unique? Write the answer in the brief and connect it to this outcome: List objectives, audiences, page types, integrations, content owners, languages, migration needs, compliance needs, launch date and support expectations.
- Which systems must connect? Check the answer against this practical situation: “Ten-page website” is not a complete scope. A page with a calculator, CRM integration and multilingual content carries different work from a simple text page.
- Who supplies and approves content? Name the owner, the evidence they must keep and the date when the decision will be reviewed.
| Step | Decision question | Evidence to keep |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Which page types are unique? | List objectives, audiences, page types, integrations, content owners, languages, migration needs, compliance needs, launch date and support expectations. |
| 2 | Which systems must connect? | “Ten-page website” is not a complete scope. A page with a calculator, CRM integration and multilingual content carries different work from a simple text page. |
| 3 | Who supplies and approves content? | Named owner, source record and review date |
