Hi ​@VPPARIYAPRA, 

Great question! Here’s a breakdown of how the Scope Tool and 2c8 fit into the IFS Cloud implementation process and the benefits they bring:

🔍 What are the Scope Tool and 2c8?

• Scope Tool: This is the foundation for defining and structuring your solution in IFS Cloud. It models your business processes down to the scenario level and allows for visualizing, managing, and refining the solution scope across the full lifecycle of implementation—from sales handover through Confirm Prototype and Establish phases.

• 2c8 Modeling Tool: While technically separate, 2c8 is often used alongside the Scope Tool to visualize business processes in a more intuitive flowchart-style format. This supports workshops, stakeholder communication, and solution modeling.

✅ Key Benefits

1. Clarity and Collaboration

• These tools provide a common visual language for both technical teams and business stakeholders.

• They help identify what's in scope, what's optional, and what's excluded, making expectations crystal clear from day one.

2. Foundation for Documentation

• The Book of Rules and Solution Documents are generated from the Scope Tool. These documents are used to:

  • Capture customer-specific business rules

  • Provide context for process design

  • Define which sub-processes and scenarios are to be implemented.

3. Supports Testing and Traceability

• The Scope Tool drives the creation of Test Trackers, which:

  • Detail system flows to be tested (each scenario = one test case)

  • Track progress across verify cycles

  • Capture test outcomes in a structured way

  • Link to help text and user roles for improved testing efficiency.

⚠️ Note: While these are not automated test scripts, they do support structured manual testing and documentation of test results.

🧪 Are They Mandatory?

Not mandatory, but strongly recommended:

• They are embedded in IFS’s implementation methodology to improve solution accuracy, traceability, and alignment with business goals.

• Using them helps reduce project risk, accelerate decision-making, and simplify updates during future rollouts or company expansions.

📎 Sample Outputs You Can Expect:

• Book of Rules per Main Process (documenting customer decisions)

• Solution Document (documenting company-wide structure and standards)

• Test Trackers for each Main Process, containing:

  • Scenario sheets with test cases

  • Overview sheets with testing progress

  • Color-coded pass/fail results

  • Notes on CRIMs and customer requirements

Happy to share a redacted example if that helps! Let me know.
