1. Executive Case & Context

• Executive summary (5–10 pages) with:

  • Problem / opportunity statement

  • Strategic alignment to corporate goals and mandates

  • High-level solution concept and value proposition

• Initiative context brief: history, drivers, constraints, related programs/projects.

• Stakeholder landscape:

  • Stakeholder catalogue (internal/external)

  • Influence/interest matrix and key concerns.

2. Strategic Execution Map (Shared Core Spine)

• Outcome hierarchy:

  • Vision / mission for the initiative

  • Outcomes, benefits, goals, and measurable objectives.

• Outcome-to-work map:

  • Objectives linked to workstreams, capabilities, and major deliverables.

• Node registry:

  • Each goal/objective/workstream with: owner, success metric(s), dependencies, and related risks.

This is your generic DASEF structure, but branded as a “Strategic Execution Map.”

3. Current State & Future State

• Current-state view:

  • High-level process summaries

  • Systems and data flows (where available)

  • Pain points, control gaps, and failure modes.

• Future-state model:

  • Target capabilities (what the organisation should be able to do)

  • Target processes/service journeys (high level)

  • “From–To” tables: key shifts in behaviour, controls, and service levels.

• Gap analysis:

  • Capabilities, data, tech, policy, and process gaps, prioritised and described.

4. Requirements & Rules Library

• Business Requirements Document (BRD):

  • Business objectives and needs statements.

  • In-scope vs out-of-scope requirements.

  • Success criteria and acceptance conditions at initiative level.

• Functional requirements catalogue:

  • Requirements grouped by capability, feature, or process.

  • Consistent structure (e.g., user stories or “The solution must…”)

  • Criticality, owner, and traceability tags.

• Non-functional requirements (NFRs):

  • Performance, scalability, availability, security, privacy, compliance, UX, etc.

  • Tied to relevant objectives and constraints.

• Business rules & decision logic:

  • Rule tables and decision trees (where applicable).

  • Validation rules, thresholds, and exception logic.

• Information model (logical):

  • Entity list and relationship map.

  • Core data elements and definitions.

  • Source/target systems where known.

5. Options, Scenarios & Business Case

• Solution options analysis:

  • Status quo, incremental, and more transformative options.

  • Pros/cons, impact by stakeholder group, complexity, and main risks.

• High-level cost & benefit view (planning level):

  • Cost ranges by option: one-time vs recurring; people / tech / services.

  • Benefit categories (financial, service, risk reduction, compliance, etc.).

• Investment/business case document:

  • Recommended option and justification.

  • Assumptions, sensitivities, and “triggers to reconsider” the recommendation.

6. Traceability, Risks & Readiness

• Traceability matrix:

  • Goals → objectives → requirements → features/changes → benefits.

• Requirements risk/complexity view:

  • Requirements flagged by complexity, risk, and dependency density.

• Readiness snapshot:

  • Assessment of organisational capacity and capability to deliver (based on your inputs): skills, processes, capacity, constraints.

7. Annexes & Reusable Assets

• Question banks / survey templates used for elicitation (for your reuse).

• Glossary and acronym list for the initiative.

• Checklists for requirements completeness and quality.
