A service description is a starting point. The agreed scope needs to say what will actually be delivered for your project.
Before work starts
- Define deliverables, priorities, dependencies, and what counts as complete.
- Clarify the information, decisions, and access each side needs to provide.
- Discuss cost, timing, review points, and any third-party services or subscriptions.
- If delivery is phased, agree what the first phase achieves and what waits.

During review
Check working features and outputs against the agreed requirements. Use specific examples when reporting a problem. New requirements can affect cost or timing, so discuss the change before assuming it is included.
After delivery
Confirm handover, documentation, deployment, and ongoing responsibilities. Maintenance and support arrangements depend on the agreed scope; do not assume every service includes indefinite changes or monitoring.
