I’m an IT worker who is trying to emphasize how I have a “WORKED OUT” solution to something, but the term seems so elementary and unprofessional. I thought about “configured” or “fully configured”, but none emphasized the importance of the solution being “worked out” (meaning it has gone through iterations, fixing, and amendments).
UPDATE
To emphasize my use case:
I intended this to be for a bullet point in a presentation: “- A worked out technical specification document”. I wanted to emphasize that the technical document we created took a few attempts/iterations. The “extra effort” of iterations was my main point for the word “worked out”
Answer
How about a consensus or vetted solution? The bullet on you PowerPoint slide could read:
-
Developed a consensus technical specification document
OR
-
Developed (and) vetted technical specification document
Each of these indicates that you didn’t develop the document by yourself in a vacuum without input from others, but that you went the extra mile to obtain input/feedback, and you used that input/feedback to improve the document through an iterative process. Such a process is implicit in both consensus and vetted. After all, you’re a team player, and you’re dedicated to producing quality products, i.e., to truly-worked-out solutions.
From Dictionary.com:
vet: to appraise, verify, or check for accuracy, authenticity, validity, etc.: An expert vetted the manuscript before publication.
consensus: general agreement or concord; harmony.
In my experience (and I’ve developed many technical specifications documents):
-
Vetted means I have worked closely with my team, experts, and/or stakeholders, etc. and revised the putative solution based on their
input. I’ve worked it out not just by myself, but with others whose
views matter. Vetting generally requires multiple iterations
(including revisions, fixes, amendments, etc.). -
Consensus means I have worked with my team, experts, and/or with stakeholders, etc. to develop a mutually agreed-upon solution.
Again, I’ve worked it out not just by myself, but with others whose
views matter. The development of consensus generally requires
multiple iterations.
