Examples of areas that could be examined are data, processes, applications, or business areas. The following types of information can be helpful:
The types of deliverables that are in scope and out of scope (business requirements, current state assessment)
The major life-cycle processes that are in scope and out of scope (analysis, design, testing)
The types of data that are in scope and out of scope (financial, sales, employee)
The data sources (or databases) that are in scope and out of scope (billing, general ledger, payroll)
The organizations that are in scope and out of scope (human resources, manufacturing, vendors)
The major functionality that is in scope and out of scope (decision support, data entry, management reporting)
