Technical audit and IT project scoping
Before paying to build, check that you are building the right thing. An audit and scoping sprint turns an idea or a struggling system into a clear plan with a defined scope and an estimated cost.
Why scope before building
Software projects rarely go wrong because of the code. They go wrong because the scope is vague, priorities shift and risks were never examined. A few days of scoping avoids months of rework.
What you get
- Scope and priorities: what is in the first release and what is postponed.
- Architecture and risk review: the technical choices, their limits, and the points that could make the project fail.
- Costed roadmap: the steps, the order of delivery and a cost estimate.
How it works
- Discover: I meet the people involved and understand the business and the numbers that matter.
- Analyse: I examine the existing system or the idea, its risks and constraints.
- Scope: I write the scope, priorities and roadmap, present them and adjust them with you.
Going further
Once the plan is approved, I can build a custom web application or run the project as an IT project manager.

Frequently asked questions
Who is an audit and scoping sprint for?
Teams with a product idea or an existing system that is causing problems, who want a solid plan before committing a development budget.
What is in the deliverable?
A scope document with priorities, a review of the architecture and risks, and a costed roadmap you can use with me or with another vendor.
Can someone else build it afterwards?
Yes. The scoping work is yours and can be used with any team. That is the whole point of doing it before building.
How long does scoping take?
It depends on the size of the project. The duration is set out in the quote after a first call.
