Proposed questions for the first meeting with Client

Following are some question chosen for the first meeting with client; we will consult with Buzz to choose the most appropriate one only: (questions might be changed)

• Do you mind if we make a recording of this interview?
• Can you tell us a little bit more about your organization which could relate to the project?
• The system developed from this project will be use for internal purpose or external purpose (will it be used by public) combined with next question
• Who are users of the new system? Internal? External? Both?
• Tell us briefly what do you want us to build? (website? application?)
• How does the current system work?
• Are there parts of the system that you wish to keep?
• What part(s) of the current system do you find obsolete?
• What type of improvements you would like to see in the system?
• Specify the basic functions the new system should have (manage data, search data, manage user...)
• Specify all the extra functions the new system should have (run fastly, simple interface...)
• Do you have any technical document of the current system that we can inspect?
• What is the scope of the new system, what you do not want in the new system? (what we don’t have to build?)
• How long do you expect the system to be completed Time frame is already set. I think we should be advising him the time frame not him.
• Can we contact you in case we need more information or do you have any dedicated person to work with us in case we need?

Please note that all other questions will not be thrown away, we still keep them for second meeting with client.
