How to scope a custom software project
A clear scope saves money. These steps keep a custom build focused and on track.
Define the problem, not the screens
Describe the outcome you need and who will use the system. Screens and features follow from that.

Set how changes are requested, who approves them and how progress is shown, for example with a demo every two weeks.
