The engagement
How the build ran, start to finish
In the client's own account: the starting point, the thing that kept getting in the way, and what was built to fix it.
Where they started
Outsourced finance support changes were requested in passing: a message here, a hallway remark there. The exact wording to replace was rarely among the details.
What was getting in the way
For outsourced finance support, whoever published an update had to interpret the request, while whoever approved it could not easily compare old and proposed wording side by side.
What we built
The new request format is deliberately brief: page, old wording, new wording, approver. Nothing concerning service responsibilities and the monthly reporting process is published without clearing that review.
