From the specification to a completed catalogue, row by row

Two catalogues, and any must row can rule you out

Ziva puts every requirement into one matrix with type, scoring unit and source. Knock-out musts are red.

  1. Red: rows that knock a bid out
  2. Scoring unit and business goal
  3. The city’s own wording
Requirement matrix in Ziva for the City of Bern school administration platform: type, scoring unit and wording per requirement, knock-outs in red.

Unclear rows in the catalogue cost points if nobody asks

Ziva drafts a question for each contradiction, with priority and source, before the first round. Your team decides.

Questions for the SIMAP forum in Ziva, each with priority, reference in the catalogue and the issue, drafted for internal sign-off.

In the end the city’s Excel counts, not your Word file

Ziva shows weight and type for every row of the city’s catalogue. Your answers go into that file, cells untouched.

In the screenshot

  1. M, B or K: must, scored, optional
  2. Business goal weight: 3.6 %
