Scope matrix
Four workstreams to check for a project in Dubai Design District.
For Dubai Design District, this planning route connects Business computing, Compute and data-centre scope, Meeting-room and AV and service-level definition. It is not a fixed package: the final quotation follows the real site, users, existing systems, access constraints, timing and support responsibility.
01Business computing
List user roles, required applications, processor and memory needs, display setup, mobility, docking, warranty expectations, operating-system requirements and lifecycle timing. This keeps device sourcing tied to real workloads and makes it easier to compare current models, approved alternatives and selected pre-owned options where appropriate. Compatibility readiness: Check interfaces, licences, firmware, rack and power constraints, network standards and vendor dependencies before approving replacement or expansion equipment.
Review business computing →02Compute and data-centre scope
Capture rack space, power, cooling, compute load, memory, storage, network interfaces, resilience, hypervisor or operating-system dependencies and growth expectations. Server and data-centre decisions should account for migration, backup, management access and support ownership so the installed hardware can be operated cleanly after go-live. Multi-site readiness: Separate standards that should remain consistent across sites from elements that may vary, then document naming, addressing, security and support conventions for repeatable delivery.
Review servers & data centre →03Meeting-room and AV
Define room purpose, participant count, display size, camera framing, microphone coverage, speakers, conferencing platform, room control, content sharing and support expectations. The design should be based on how meetings are run and who supports the room, not a list of disconnected AV devices. Handover readiness: Define the diagrams, configuration records, asset list, warranty documents, test evidence and credential-transfer method required at completion.
Review meeting room & av →04Service-level definition
State covered services, operating hours, severity levels, response targets, escalation contacts, communication method, maintenance windows, exclusions and reporting. A useful SLA translates business criticality into an agreed support process and avoids ambiguous expectations during incidents or planned work. Continuity readiness: Record current backups, rollback options, communication needs and the safest sequence of changes so business-critical services remain protected during implementation.
