Assumptions and constraints

What we expect to have but aren’t certain of (such as internet) and what implementation can’t require.

Constraints

Technical Constraints

  • The project must be developed using the specified tech stack, including the use of Azure services, machine learning frameworks, and the chosen programming languages and tools.

  • The system must be integrated with existing infrastructure as well as, with external document management systems like iManage and Relativity One.

  • The system must meet specified performance benchmarks, ensuring efficient processing of document uploads, PII detection, and redaction.

Regulatory Constraints

  • Compliance with Data Protection and Privacy Laws: The system must comply with GDPR, CCPA, POPIA, and other relevant data protection regulations.

  • Adherence to Industry-Specific Regulations: The system must meet regulations such as HIPAA for healthcare data and PCI DSS for payment processing.

  • Accessibility Compliance: The system should comply with accessibility laws and standards, ensuring that it is usable by individuals with disabilities.

  • Other Legal Compliance: The system must adhere to any other applicable local, national, or international laws or regulations.

Project Constraints

  • Deadlines and Milestones: The project must meet specific deadlines and milestones as outlined in the project plan.

  • Project Management Methodologies: The project must adhere to predefined project management methodologies, such as Agile or Waterfall, as decided by the project team.

Operational Constraints

  • Performance Requirements: The system must meet performance requirements such as response times and throughput.

  • Scalability: The system must be designed to handle future growth, both in terms of user base and data volume.

  • Availability and Reliability: The system must meet certain availability and reliability expectations, aiming for high uptime and robust error handling.

Additional Constraints

  • Budget Constraints: The project must operate within the allocated budget, ensuring cost-effective solutions are implemented.

  • Resource Constraints: The project must manage the availability and allocation of resources, including personnel, hardware, and software.

  • Integration Constraints: The system must be capable of integrating with existing and future systems and technologies as needed.
