A simpler way to start project work

For Northstar Services employees who request, review, or prioritize project work.

Northstar Services is a fictional sample organization. This hub explains its example intake rollout and helps you prepare for the new process.

What is changing

Project requests begin with one intake route that captures the problem, expected impact, and preferred timing before review. The goal is to give reviewers consistent context—not to promise that every request will be approved or scheduled.

Plan is not completion

A planned milestone describes intended work; completion needs an actual update from the responsible rollout team.
