Hints and tips for stage four
Follow the DIRKS methodology step E to identify your preferred records management strategy.
Do not to try and detail and cost too many solution options. Use the checklist provided in stage one, step one of the toolkit to define your functional requirements and use the methodology outlined in Step Two to narrow down the options that you are prepared to review to four to six.
Seek consensus in the team wherever possible and try to agree one preferred option for which you can do a detailed business case rather than three or four options for which you will only have the resources to do very high level business cases.
