Custom CRM Requirements Template for Sales Operations

A CRM scope is ready when sales decisions can be tested, not merely displayed.

Decision boundary

A CRM scope is ready when sales decisions can be tested, not merely displayed.

Do not begin with a screen list or a vendor promise. Define the operating decision, the data that proves it and the person responsible for exceptions.

Requirements to confirm

  1. Define lead, company, contact and opportunity ownership
  2. Write pipeline transition rules and required evidence
  3. Test reports with representative sales roles

Common mistake

Treating a workflow as a set of fields usually creates a system that looks complete but cannot explain ownership, exceptions or acceptance. Keep each rule testable with representative records and real job roles.

How to start

Start with one bounded workflow, document assumptions and acceptance evidence, then expand after the first milestone is operated safely. See the related service and illustrative scope
