Frequently asked questions

Does selecting a phase move the project forward?Fictional demo

No. In the demo, selecting a phase only changes the information you view. It does not advance a real project or record sponsor approval. The six workplace phases are Discover, Define, Design, Deliver, Embed and Recalibrate; phases in Deploy remain examples. Read them in their displayed context. A real programme must identify its playbook, version and who may approve a transition. That operational approval is not yet available in the demo.

How should questions, decisions and actions connect?Workflow in preparation

The complete project workflow is not yet available. The intended sequence is Question → Decision → Update → Action → Evaluation. A question receives an owner, an authorised person makes the required decision, and current guidance reaches the right audience before people act. Evaluation determines whether follow-up is needed. Publishing already has draft, review, approval and publication stages, but Deploy only shows fictional examples without real storage or approval. For actual project work, agree who handles questions, who decides and where follow-up is recorded.

Can I approve a decision through the current demo?Fictional demo

No, the Deploy demo does not save real decisions or approve anything. A displayed decision or completed worksheet does not replace authorised approval. Use your project's agreed decision record for real work. A future process must preserve the proposal, evidence, decision-maker, reasoning, conditions and effective date, and connect the decision to reviewed information for its audience. Before use, test approval permissions, corrections and publication with separate roles. Keep drafts visibly distinct from approved decisions.

Can I use the demo pulse to judge project readiness?Fictional demo

No, the demo pulse is an illustration, not a readiness score or evidence of project results. The example described provides no response counts, coverage or scale definition. A meaningful report needs a clear question, period, population, response count, scale and relevant comparison before you interpret change. Sponsors should receive appropriate project results and protected aggregates, not unrestricted personal responses. Reporting in Deploy is fictional. Ask the measurement owner to explain the actual data and its limits before using it for a decision.
