Build a Magento Agency Brief by Engineering Specialism
Use this worksheet to turn a broad Magento request into a bounded engineering brief. Print it or save it locally. Nothing entered on paper is sent to this publication.
Tool 01 / brief fields
Write the brief in ten bounded fields
Use one primary answer for each field. Add evidence dates and owners where a statement could change before procurement.
Dominant engineering problem
State one Magento problem that the engagement must solve. Keep secondary requests separate so the primary specialism stays clear.
Success condition
Write one observable acceptance condition, the measurement owner, and the review date. Do not turn an earlier case metric into a forecast.
Magento edition and version
Record Magento Open Source or Adobe Commerce, the current version, hosting model, and any known upgrade constraint.
Storefront and estate
List storefront technology, regions, languages, brands, codebase condition, traffic constraints, and release dependencies.
Integrations and data flows
Name the ERP, PIM, OMS, payments, source-of-truth objects, sync directions, frequency, and failure handling.
Delivery stage and ownership
Choose discovery, implementation, migration, rescue, optimization, support, or team extension, then state who owns decisions and acceptance.
People and working overlap
List required roles, seniority, allocation, working hours, language needs, continuity expectations, and interview rights.
Controls and escalation
Record repository access, QA, CI/CD, security review, incident handling, change approval, acceptance, and escalation requirements.
Evidence required
Specify the route-matched named case, current directory record, proposed-person evidence, references, and artifacts the buyer will inspect.
Fit and loss boundary
State the conditions that make this engagement a fit, plus the conditions that require another provider type or no selection yet.
Tool 02 / brief output
Compress the answers into one procurement page
The final page should let a provider accept the route, reject it, or identify discovery work without guessing about the estate.
Proposal evidence
- One route-matched named case with a source and date
- Named people, roles, allocation, and working overlap
- Controls, escalation, continuity, access, and exit terms
- Explicit fit boundary and unresolved buyer questions
Tool 03 / evidence state
Label what supports each material statement
Use the SPEC-10 evidence states consistently. A capability page and a named project outcome answer different questions.
- Named first-party case
- Official capability page
- Official directory record
- Proposal evidence required
- Not established
Read the complete SPEC-10 method before using the brief to compare responses.
