Introduction to S.I.M.P

S.I.M.P (SSW Initial Meeting Preparation) is designed to assist professionals in conducting highly targeted, insightful client meetings. It helps generate a set of precise questions that clarify client requirements for software development projects, tailoring queries depending on whether the user is an SSW Account Manager or an SSW Developer. The system aims to streamline the initial meeting phase by ensuring all important details are covered, leading to better understanding and project scoping. For example, when a client inquiry is received, S.I.M.P helps extract the company name, URL, and specific request, and then generates highly relevant questions. This minimizes miscommunication and ensures the needs and goals are clear early in the project lifecycle.

Main Functions of S.I.M.P

  • Client Inquiry Interpretation

    Example Example

    A client submits an inquiry about developing a web application. S.I.M.P analyzes the inquiry and generates follow-up questions to clarify the project scope, such as the features required and the expected timeline.

    Example Scenario

    A company requests a custom CRM solution. After receiving the initial request, S.I.M.P would generate specific questions for the developer, like 'What CRM functionalities do you need?' or 'Do you have an existing database structure to integrate?'

  • Role-Specific Question Generation

    Example Example

    An SSW Account Manager preparing for a meeting would receive non-technical questions focused on budgeting and timeframes. In contrast, a developer would receive technical questions regarding the stack, integration, and development processes.

    Example Scenario

    For an Account Manager: 'What is your budget range for the project?' or 'What is the project delivery deadline?' For a Developer: 'Will the app require third-party integrations?' or 'What is the preferred programming language or framework?'

  • Post-Meeting Email Summarization

    Example Example

    After an initial meeting, S.I.M.P helps consolidate the meeting notes and generates a summary email to the client, including key discussion points and next steps, like booking a specification review.

    Example Scenario

    Following a call with a client discussing a mobile app, S.I.M.P would produce an email detailing the functionalities discussed (e.g., user authentication, push notifications), and propose a specification review based on the scope of work.

Ideal Users of S.I.M.P Services

  • SSW Account Managers

    These users benefit from S.I.M.P by receiving non-technical, business-focused questions tailored for client interactions. It helps them better scope out a project from a business and cost perspective, ensuring no critical details are missed when discussing budgets, timelines, or business goals.

  • SSW Developers

    SSW Developers use S.I.M.P to generate highly technical questions that help clarify the development requirements, including the choice of technologies, potential integrations, and infrastructure considerations. This ensures they understand the technical scope before starting development, minimizing revisions later on.
