THE DIRECT ANSWER

Rehearse an engagement with an accepted milestone, a reopened issue and a separately approved change. Technical leads, project managers and finance should explain remaining obligations and proposed charges using consistent references. The pilot passes when integration events, user permissions and manual acceptance decisions preserve the agreed commercial boundary throughout the delivery cycle.

Understand the decision

Use a sample release that first fails deployment and later passes customer review. Include one subcontract cost and support activity after acceptance. This reveals whether the system can represent technical progress without losing financial commitments or implying that all later work belongs to the original fixed-fee scope.

Work through the requirements

  1. Rehearse failed and successful release events.
  2. Test a reopened issue after acceptance.
  3. Reconcile milestone, support and subcontract treatment.

Watch for this failure

A test that ends when technical issues close misses the commercial lifecycle. Include release failure, customer acceptance and post-acceptance work, and require finance and delivery users to reconcile those states before approving the new process.

This example defines what to verify, rather than promising a particular Odoo feature. Keep a record of the demonstrated result, configuration, unresolved gaps and person who accepts it.
