2023 Digital Technology Key objective | To standardize and to innovate Application Lab data in one platform called DataLab and make it easily accessible to users |
Priority | P1 - MUST DO |
Phase 1: Envision - High level initiatives
Do
Create Envision brief if the initiative is part of the validated roadmap
- Highlight roadmap value
- Request a budget for Strategize if you need one
- Security scoring
- RADAR/SENTRI
Don´t
- Request platform resources if the business capability is already identified and clear
- Write portfolio epics, epics and user stories
Identify squad resources
First, let´s start with the Problem space
1.1. Reason
* Why is this initiative proposed today?
| To keep answering the R&I digitalization demand for Applications Labs |
1.2. Benefits
What are the new capabilities expected?
|
What will it replace? Is it a new solution or an existing one?
| It will replace paper, googlesheet/excel, and local files or drives |
1.3. Target users
Who are the future users?
| All application labs of Novecare (Agro, Coatings), Materials, Batteries |
What is the number of users impacted?
| 240 |
What about the Business Needs?
1.4. Value proposition
What is the value of the initiative?
One simple-safe solution to access & valorize R&I data with predictive- analytics for all market users. |
1.5. Business goals
How does the product / deliverable align with the business goals?
|
1.6. Challenges
Are there any challenges in developing the product?
|
1.7. Business metrics
How will we measure success?
Global DT OKRs:
|
1.8. Cybersecurity
Please duplicate this template in this folder. Then, for the envision phase, answer to the 7 high-level questions in the "Security Scoring" sheet. These questions will help the SIP team to determine the level of cybersecurity & compliance support you will need. Please contact the team by email: @SIP_team@solvay.com
Output completed:

1.9. Up to investment
Estimated Delivery phase start date*
| Estimated Delivered end Quarter*
|
What is the coherent money to commit on the initiative?*
| 2023 (in K€)* | 2024 (in K€)* | 2025 (in K€) | |
|---|---|---|---|
Estimated size of investment (high level) | 1470 K€ 1050k€ CapEX + 421k€ OTC | TBD in 2023 |
What is the coherent run and build commit on the initiative?
Estimated run costs (estimation high level) - on 10Y (if already known) 80K per year | Type of savings expected /year for DT (Ex: Contracts, FTE, ...) |
1.10. Resources
What skills and talents do we need?
ELN specialist |
1.11. Methodology to apply (refer for Accolade)
Do you think if your initiative is compatible with a waterfall approachor with an agile approach?
|
If the initiative will be done in Agile methodology, please contact during the strategize phase Nicolas LOVAGNINI
Phase 2: Strategize
Do
- Identify portfolio epics and epics within each portfolio epics
- Create a document / slide / spreadsheet to build your epics and put a link in the bief
- Estimate experts and budget by portfolio epics or by increment
- Show SMART KPI (Specific, Measureable, Archievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound)
- Evaluate the impact on Solvay One Planet objectives
Don´t
- Identify squad resources (naming)
- Write user stories
Now, we can move on to the Solution space
2.0 Scope / Deliverables
What is the scope (technical, functional & organizational) / deliverables foreseen?

Review with Enterprise Architect the actual solution answering the objective
| Complete Architecture Impact Analysis (AIA) ARB & AIA | |
Check you have confirmed the involvement of each platform
| Revert to SDM of each Platform | |
Identify security needs (Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability) and define security measures to be implemented by the initiative team
| Complete “SIP Support tool” | |
Support for budget estimation (via the Workload & Cost), Financial evaluation (Total Cost of Ownership over 10Y), saving validation
|
Output completed: TCO over 10Y: | |
| Optional | ||
If any relation needed with a supplier
| ||
If it concerns a key supplier, a sourcing strategy has to be defined
| ||
If conformity by design is required
| GMP (pharma), ISO | |
If Data Governance is required: identify the business objects
| Data Governance Strategise for Initiative Briefs | |
2.2. Users needs
What do users dislike about the current solution?
Applicable when a new solution is developed
Current solutions do not centralize the data |
What tools or features do your users wish to have?
| ELN, Tableau, DataLab, AI tools (LabInsight & AdEX) |
What value will it add to the user´s lives?
| Intuitive application Fast access to data within less than a few seconds Less redundant tasks with digital solutions Predicting and recommending data to optimize the number of experiments |
What alternative do we have?
| The data needs to be centralized in a the cloud and standardized. Any cloud platform like GCP would do. Web based interface can be a customized web application or any powerful data analytical tools |
2.3. Risk Analysis
What are the risks (refer to Risk analysis matrix in Accolade)?
|
2.3. Solvay One Planet Objectives
What is the qualitative assessment of Hardware/ Data processing/ Project’s contribution to Solvay One Planet?
- Is the business ambition you will support improving or not sustainability? - Will you increase or decrease the number of hardware we need to operate? How much ? - Will you generate or transfer an important amount of data, especially videos? How much? |
