Yes, there’s a clear business case.There is a business case, but it’s not that clear.Necessity of the integration(s) can be taken for granted. 3. Specify how many systems or applications should be integrated.Just 2 systems (1 integration).2 to 4 systems.More than 4 systems. 4. Is there a set budget for realization of the integrations?Yes, the budget has been set.The budget still has to be defined. 5. What will the integration project yield per month?between EUR 0 and EUR 100 per month.between EUR 100 and EUR 1000 per month.at least EUR 1000 per month.no idea what it will yield. 6. Integration Project Organization 7. How many different suppliers and interested parties are involved in the project?Two (2) suppliers and 1 interested (accepting) party.Two (2) to 4 suppliers and 1 interested (accepting) party.Four or more suppliers and 1 or more interested (accepting) parties. 8.

Is the integration high on the list of priorities of all the fundamentally involved parties?Yes.Not quite. It’s clearly not the top priority for certain suppliers.No. Some suppliers make us wait very long. 11. Are so-called subject matter experts available? People who are familiar with, and can operate, one or more applications?Yes, they’re available.Not for all applications. That’s a job for the integration developers.The integration team itself tests all the integrations. The applications are organized in a simple way. 12. Are the people who design the integrations also involved in realization?Yes, the people who design the integrations are building them too.No, development is being handled by others, although the developers are collaborating with the designers within a single scrum team.No, development is being handled by a remote development team once the design is complete. 13.

What losses will be involved if the integration doesn’t work?If that happens, we’ll have a major problem on our hands.We’ll have time to solve the problem, but it has to be solved within a week.We’ll simply continue working. A solution within 2 weeks would be fine.We haven’t taken any measures, because the chance of encountering a problem is minimal. 32. Who will be coordinating the resolution of possible incidents?We’ll be doing it ourselves. Our IT manager will arrange it.Our IT department will be handling it.We’re still on the lookout for someone.We won’t be faced with incidents because our suppliers know what they’re doing. 33.
