How is the solution adapted to our organisation?

The operating scope covers your records, role permissions, review authority, business rules and integration boundaries. These requirements are agreed with the responsible business owners.

How does the solution connect with existing systems?

How are subsequent changes controlled?

The agreed engineering approach covers review of change impact, bounded implementation, validation and accepted revisions. Discuss the relevant Genesis Context Memory and support requirements during solution scoping.
