Executive summary

A method for releasing integration funding and scope only when graded evidence shows the integration is protecting and capturing value as approved.

What is inside

What the governance and acceptance pack covers

The asset walks a governance lead and sponsor through the gate map, criteria from the approved case, between-gate controls, the evidence grading standard, decision rights, conditions, exceptions, and acceptance records. A worked synthetic case runs the day-100 tranche release gate end to end.

The gates between Day 1 and closing an integration
Acceptance criteria traced to the approved integration case
The controls that run between gates and the evidence each must produce
A grading standard that separates claims from validated evidence
Decision rights, quorum, and the four possible gate outcomes
Conditions, exceptions, and non-waivable triggers
Acceptance records the benefits review can audit

How to use it

How teams use it

Teams use it from the approval of the integration approach; the gate map is signed before close. The governance lead runs the register, the IMO lead prepares submissions, finance validates synergy and cost evidence, and the sponsor decides with the steering group. Communities of practice use it in acceptance reviews that challenge incomplete evidence.
