Define scope by outcome, not only files
Clarify what complete means, what existing behavior may be affected, and which areas can be changed.
- Completion criteria
- Affected screens or features
- Editable scope
Align review and testing flow
Branches, pull requests, review builds, tests, and reviewers should follow the existing team's workflow.
Leave notes for handoff
External work should be maintainable later. Setup steps, cautions, and future extension notes reduce dependency on the original implementer.
Common Inquiry Examples
When only part of an existing project is outsourced, boundary design matters as much as implementation skill.
- Outsource one feature without moving the whole project
- Delegate only external SDK integration
- Make a small change without breaking existing code
What to Decide Before Requesting Work
Align scope, completion criteria, and review flow before implementation starts.
- Editable and non-editable areas
- Completion criteria and review method
- Branch, pull request, and test flow
Patterns That Often Fail
If the boundary is unclear, review time shifts from checking the work to checking its possible side effects.
- The meaning of partial work is vague
- No reviewer is assigned
- Setup steps and cautions are not documented
