Procurement needs disconnected from real use
Buyers focus on specs and price; on-site users care about convenience and maintenance.
Three-step solution method
- Run procurement interviews and on-site observation in parallel to build two sets of decision evidence.
- Convert procurement metrics into observable user tasks and maintenance requirements.
- Convene procurement, operations, and service teams to jointly review product requirements.
Key Deliverables
- Stakeholder map
- Requirements traceability matrix
- Review records
Verification Approach
Verify that critical procurement requirements are validated in real-world tasks.
