Preparing the inputs may be the main part of the work.
A company wants to test search across internal documents. Files live in different systems, some are outdated and some have restricted access. A demonstration works on a few files, but permitted use and responsibility for keeping the information current remain unresolved.
General approach
Where we could start
Gather input requirements and involve the owners of access, security and content. Agree a limited test collection, information owners and an update process. Pass the requirements to technical specialists without substituting for their professional judgments.
What you would have
An agreed test collection with defined access conditions and responsibility for its content.
Who needs to be involved
The requester, responsible participants and the specialists the task requires.
Roles and decisions
Scope and authority are agreed for the task. Relevant specialists provide technical and professional assessments.
This is a starting point for a conversation. We would check the approach against your task.
