Requirements & Concepts

Understand first, then build.

Most software projects don’t fail because of code but because of unclear requirements. I help you ask the right questions early and turn ideas into an actionable concept.

Scope

What’s included.

As a developer and architect I know what implementation needs – and I translate between business and technology so everyone ends up talking about the same thing.

  • Requirements workshops

    Structured workshops with business units and stakeholders to clarify goals and needs.

  • User stories & backlog

    Clear, prioritised user stories with acceptance criteria – ready for delivery.

  • Technical concept

    Solution approach, data model and interfaces as the basis for quotes and development.

  • Feasibility & effort

    Realistic assessment of risks, effort and options – before budget is committed.

  • Process analysis

    Capturing existing workflows and identifying potential for digitalisation and automation.

  • Tenders

    Support in writing specifications and evaluating vendor proposals.

Typical situations

When I can help.

  • You have an idea but no clear picture yet of what exactly should be built.
  • Business and development keep talking past each other.
  • You need a solid basis for a quote or a tender.
  • A project has stalled because requirements keep changing.

How I work

    Understand

    First, I clarify goals, starting point and constraints.

    Concept

    This leads to a clear plan covering approach, effort and timeline.

  3. 3

    Delivery

    Iterative, transparent and with regular check-ins.

  4. 4

    Handover & operation

    Documentation, knowledge transfer to the team and stable operation.

FAQ

Good to know.

Is a concept phase worth it for smaller projects?

Yes. Even one or two workshops prevent costly misunderstandings. The scope follows your project – not the other way round.

Do I have to hire you for the implementation afterwards?

No. The concept is yours and prepared so that another team can work with it as well.

Do you work in regulated environments?

Yes. I have experience with quality management software for ISO 9001 certified companies and know the requirements for traceability.
