START WITH THE RIGHT QUESTIONS

What to look at first.

A practical starting point.
Adapt it to your own situation.

01

What will be delivered?

Ask for a written scope with outputs, exclusions, timings and the information you must supply. A shared definition of finished makes quotes easier to compare.

02

Who will do the work?

Ask who owns delivery and who answers questions. Review relevant examples and check any qualifications that your project requires.

03

What do you own at the end?

Clarify access to accounts, source files and documentation. Agree how support, changes and handover will work before committing.

Put these side by side.

  • Deliverables and exclusions
  • Delivery team and relevant examples
  • Change requests and support
  • Ownership, access and handover
