Functional reference prototype for discovery and validation. Not a production authority for workflows, SLAs, or approvals.

Close-out

Candidate Report

Read this before drawing conclusions from any screen. It states what the prototype is faithful about, where it simplifies, and which decisions belong to people rather than to the demo.

Standing assumptions

These hold on every screen in the prototype.

  • All data is in-memory demo data. Refreshing the browser restores the seeded state, and nothing is persisted.
  • The simulated present is 2026-07-29. Ages, timers and due dates are calculated against that fixed point.
  • Notifications, documents and integration calls are simulated in the browser. No mail, DMS or SAP system is connected.
  • SLA clocks are deterministic seeded values so that demonstrations are repeatable, not live-ticking counters.
  • Approval routes, thresholds and escalation paths are illustrative and require confirmation by the named owners.
  • Bilingual support is demonstrated as a right-to-left layout switch. Arabic translation content is not included.
  • The prototype is for discovery and validation. It is not an authority for workflows, SLAs or reported performance.
Readiness at a glance

What a reviewer can rely on today.

  • Seven process modules navigable end to end

    Each module has its own workspace, queues and record views.

    Represented
  • Canonical record experience

    Header, lifecycle, approvals, tasks, related records, evidence, comms, audit and provenance.

    Represented
  • Role-based access

    Twelve personas gate navigation, records and actions.

    Represented
  • Cross-process relationships

    Links are typed and reciprocal in both directions.

    Represented
  • Golden scenarios

    Five guided walkthroughs with step-by-step record entry points.

    Represented
  • Bilingual interface

    Layout direction switches; Arabic copy is not supplied.

    Partial
  • Persistence and multi-user

    In-memory only, single browser session.

    Not covered
  • Live integrations

    Simulated response modes only.

    Not covered
Coverage by process

Represented, simplified and deliberately out of scope, process by process.

Policy & Procedure Management

Policy & Procedures

Represented

  • Policy register with owner, status and review dates
  • Drafting, review, approval and publication lifecycle
  • Document control metadata and version history
  • Links from policy to affected services and SLAs

Simplified

  • Approval routing uses fixed demo routes rather than a configurable rule engine
  • Document storage is simulated; no real DMS repository is attached

Out of scope

  • Legal drafting workflow
  • Automated policy attestation campaigns

Service Level Management

SLA Management

Represented

  • Versioned targets per service and priority
  • Clock states including pause, warning, breach and met
  • Attainment reporting and breach-to-action handoff

Simplified

  • Timers are deterministic seeded values, not live counters
  • Calendars are represented as named schedules without holiday tables

Out of scope

  • Contractual penalty calculation
  • Customer-signed SLA negotiation workflow

Request Management

Service Request

Represented

  • Catalogue-driven intake with per-item fields
  • Approval routing, fulfilment tasks and closure
  • Requester visibility and status communication

Simplified

  • Fulfilment tasks are manually progressed; no automation runbooks

Out of scope

  • Procurement and payment execution
  • Stock and asset reservation

Incident Management

Incident

Represented

  • Impact and urgency priority derivation
  • Major incident declaration, comms and PIR handoff
  • Resolution, verification and closure with SLA linkage

Simplified

  • Monitoring events are seeded, not ingested from a live tool

Out of scope

  • Automated event correlation
  • Paging and on-call rotation

Change Management

Change

Represented

  • Standard, normal and emergency paths
  • CAB authority, scheduling windows and conflict view
  • Change linked to incident, request and project origins

Simplified

  • Risk scoring is a fixed demo value rather than a computed model

Out of scope

  • Deployment pipeline execution
  • Configuration item discovery

Project Execution

Project Execution

Represented

  • Stage-gate progression with gate owners
  • Deliverables, tasks and delivery load
  • Project change distinct from production change

Simplified

  • No cost, resource capacity or scheduling engine

Out of scope

  • Timesheets and financial actuals
  • Portfolio prioritisation scoring

IT Performance Management

IT Performance

Represented

  • KPI scorecard with targets, trends and thresholds
  • Drill-through from KPI to source records
  • Corrective actions with owners and verification

Simplified

  • Trends are seeded historical series, not computed from record history

Out of scope

  • Data warehouse modelling
  • Executive scorecard distribution
Decisions needing a named owner

Each item below is a question the prototype cannot answer on its own. The candidate owner is a suggestion for the workshop, not an assignment.

Open decisions and candidate owners
AreaQuestionCandidate ownerWhy it matters
Approval authority thresholdsWho sets the value and risk thresholds that decide when a change needs CAB versus service-owner approval?Change Manager with IT GovernanceThe prototype uses demo thresholds. The real thresholds carry delegation-of-authority consequences.
SLA targets and calendarsWhich service hours, holidays and pause reasons are contractually agreed per service?Service Owner with the business service sponsorClock behaviour changes attainment reporting and therefore any performance conversation.
Priority matrixIs the impact and urgency matrix confirmed for MIM, including the definition of a major incident?Incident ManagerPriority drives SLA selection, escalation and communications reach.
Catalogue scopeWhich services and request items go live in wave one, and who owns each entry?Service Owners with Service Desk leadCatalogue scope sets the intake surface and the fulfilment workload.
Integration contractsWhat are the real payloads, error handling and reconciliation rules for SAP ERP, the BTP/API layer and DMS?Enterprise Architecture with the SAP and DMS platform ownersThe prototype simulates five response modes; the real contract determines retry and evidence handling.
Role and permission modelWhich directory groups map to each ITSM role, and who approves changes to that mapping?IT Governance with Identity and Access ManagementEvery screen in the prototype is gated by role, so the mapping is a prerequisite for any pilot.
Records retention and auditHow long are records, evidence and audit trails retained, and who can export them?Quality and ComplianceRetention affects both the data model and the reporting surface.
