Happy Path method for tenders

When every voice is the loudest..

... then chaos quickly ensues in requirements management.

Whether it's a web relaunch, a new platform or digital services - many interests come together at colleges and universities. Each department demands something different: immediate, urgent, indispensable. In the end, one overworked person has to pour all these contradictory requirements into a tender. The result is requirements without priority, unsuitable budgets and offers that miss the mark.

Several university representatives argue loudly about the homepage of a website. — If no voice gets through, requirements quickly become a patchwork quilt.

A principal calls for fundamental changes — Individual demands quickly seem overpowering - without prioritization, chaos ensues.

The solution: Happy Path

From desire to clear tender

The Happy Path does not start with the loudest demands, but with your goals. What do you really want the university to achieve? Together, we derive user stories from these goals - and clear, prioritized requirements. This results in a tender that is realistic, comprehensible and effective.

How we support universities

✅ Define and prioritize goals
✅ Derive requirements in a structured manner
✅ Content and technical analysis
✅ Formulate realistic invitations to tender

Workshop team concentrates on the whiteboard. — Your goals are the basis for the Happy Path. This places clear requirements on your service providers.

What universities gain

With the Happy Path, universities gain clarity about their goals and requirements. Instead of a patchwork quilt, the result is a structured invitation to tender that is immediately understood by providers and enables realistic offers. This saves time, money and nerves - and the end result is one that really meets the university's needs.
