CONCUR Client Brief

CONCUR Client Brief

• Determining the client brief is a key role for
  the principal contractor. The client does not
  always know how to do this and usually requires
  assistance to do this. The client will have a
  business plan within which the new project will
  perform in terms of finance, operating costs,
  generating revenue and delivering a profit. The
  client requires input from the supplying
  contractor to support his business plans.
• When the client brief is fully understood and
  agreed by the client and supplier, the supplier
  can develop the scheme and prepare a bid and
  programme for delivering the project.
• There are systems for capturing client
  requirements and recording requirement revisions
  and the supplier response options. One such
  system is called Dynamic Object Oriented
  Requirement System (DOORS). This system was
  trialled in the first half of the CONCUR project
  and featured in the Mid Term Review
  Demonstration. DOORS, from Telelogic UK Ltd, can
  support the whole life cycle of a project. The
  mid term trial showed how information exported
  from DOORS could be imported into corporate
  systems
• The development of the client brief takes place
  concurrently with the Inception modelling of a
  project, the assessment of risk to the supplier
  and the effect on the potentially new project on
  the supplier business plan. Currently
  information is manually transferred between
  client brief and into inception modelling.
