An Ottawa consultancy invoices a milestone only after the customer's named reviewer accepts a deliverable. Two departments share the customer name but issue separate purchase orders. Trace a revision through project acceptance and finance without assuming that a completed task is permission to bill.
Illustrative scenario, not a claim about a local client or the community’s dominant industries. Use it when the same problem appears in your business.
Make the requirements reviewable
Bring an ordinary transaction and an exception from your current process. Replace the sample assumptions with your own quantities, approvals and business rules. These records give the process owner and implementation team something concrete to evaluate.
| Record or decision | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Milestone record | Keep delivery evidence and customer acceptance separate |
| Purchase order | Map the correct department and spending ceiling |
| Revision register | Identify which version was accepted |
What would a passing test show?
Use these hypothetical cases in a demonstration. Mark the evidence you have reviewed, then download the checklist. Selections stay in this tab.
Connect the exercise to your regional review
For the wider regional review, bring these decisions into discovery: branch versus legal entity; hst review evidence; shared customer accounts. The Ontario guide explains what evidence to collect. Keep these questions separate from any assumption about a city-specific software requirement.
