1. Define requirements
Capture the constraints, preferences and approvals your operation depends on. Include the systems they need to connect with.
2. Review published evidence
Read the inputs, method and scale behind each result. Keep measured outcomes distinct from simulations and projections.
3. Test representative scenarios
Use your demand, people and rules. Test the normal month and the changes that make planning harder.
4. Resolve gaps and scope
Review violations, gaps and declined requests. Identify the configuration or development your operation would need.
