Every phase produces decision-ready artifacts — not slide decks. Each deliverable is designed so leadership can approve, pause, or redirect with confidence.
What you leave with
- A plain-language map of where dependency creates risk — not a technical architecture diagram, but a cross-functional view that operations, finance, and compliance can all read.
- Named owners, control points, and decision criteria for the capability in scope.
- A sequenced pilot-to-cutover plan tied to business risk, not vendor timelines.
- Evidence gates leaders can use to approve or pause change at every step.
Concrete deliverables by phase
Capability control map
Cross-functional view of the capability, supporting systems, and where control leaks. Shows who owns what, where handoffs break, and where work has drifted outside governed systems.
Produced in: Capability Discovery (Phase 1)
Stabilization plan
Targeted interventions that stop spreadsheet sprawl and patch brittle handoffs — without replacing core systems. Focuses on reducing fragility before modernization begins.
Produced in: Capability Discovery (Phase 1)
Pilot design
Parallel-run design, reconciliation routines, and rollback triggers — all defined before execution. Includes success criteria agreed with leadership so the pilot has a clear pass/fail threshold.
Produced in: Capability Pilot (Phase 2)
Cutover governance pack
Decision checkpoints, approval criteria, and evidence expectations for executive control. Designed so leadership can approve each cutover independently based on evidence, not project momentum.
Produced in: Controlled Cutover Program (Phase 3)
How deliverables are used
Each artifact is designed for a specific audience and decision:
| Artifact | Audience | Decision it supports | |----------|----------|---------------------| | Capability control map | Ops + Finance + Compliance | Where to focus first | | Stabilization plan | Ops leadership | What to fix before modernizing | | Pilot design | Program sponsors | Whether to approve the pilot | | Cutover governance pack | Executive sponsors | Whether to approve each cutover |
