1. Start with workflow reality
Interview the teams doing the work today and chart every handoff. Focus on where delays, duplicate data, and approval bottlenecks appear. This gives you the real baseline, not the idealized process map.
2. Define system boundaries
Decide which parts the first module should own and which systems stay external. A clear boundary prevents scope creep and keeps early delivery fast.
3. Assign ownership and metrics
For each workflow, assign an accountable owner and one measurable success metric. Teams adopt faster when ownership and outcomes are explicit from day one.
