The scoping questions

Before the call, eleven questions in four blocks

Asked in this order on purpose: money and date first, because they decide whether the rest is worth an hour.

Money and date

What budget has been set aside, and by whom?
Is there a date something must be live for? What happens if it slips?
Who signs?

What exists already

What is in place today, and what about it works?
Who wrote the current texts and took the photos, and can we reuse them?
What tools do you already pay for that this has to sit next to?

What is not the job

What have you decided not to do this time?
Is there a part you want to keep in-house?

Who decides what

Who reviews, and how many rounds do you expect?
Who is the one person we call when a decision is stuck?
What would make you say, in October, that this was worth it?

The one not to skip

Question 7. A client who cannot name what is out of scope has not decided what is in it, and that call ends in a brief that moves every fortnight.

This lab can be yours, with your data where this example stands.

Mojo builds it during the customize session. Consultants and agencies: that is who this one is for.
