Scope
1 area implies 6 topics across 3 modules
You did not pick these
Integration, PMO & Programme Governance
Your streams cross into these modules, so the work happens there too. That is the part most scoping exercises miss.
The end-to-end
Migrate-to-Steady-State
Data & Analytics → Integration
Plan-to-Cutover (Go-Live)
PMO & Programme Governance → Data & Analytics → Integration
Data in and out
What actually crosses the boundary, which way, how often, and what it costs when it stops.
Crosses your scope boundary
Opening balances and master data→General Ledger
At cutover
Data Migration · without it: The new ledger opens on numbers nobody can reconcile to the old one.
Integration points
Every module boundary a stream crosses is an interface. The ones marked straddle your scope — you are changing one side and not the other, which is the interface most often missed at scoping and found during testing.

One side of this is outside your scope

The order to do it in
Data Migration
Nothing in scope blocks these — they can start together.
Cutover & Go-Live
Unblocked once the phase above is standing.
Sequence is a delivery judgement rather than a fact about the taxonomy. These are proposals from common tier-1 ordering — argue with them.
Assumed already in place
This scope depends on Programme Governance without including it. Fine if it is already standing and staying as it is — a gap in the plan otherwise.

Australian obligations in scope
Nothing AU-specific in this scope.
Everything in scope — 6 topics
The ones you chose, and the ones they brought with them. An implied topic cannot be dropped on its own — it is here because of a pick, and the pick is named.
You picked these — 1
Came with them — 5 you did not pick

This is a diagnosis, not a plan
Build takes the same scope and turns it into the documents somebody has to write — the investment brief, the business case, the plans — starting with what each one needs as an input before its headings can be answered honestly.
