What teams see
- Work waits between receive approved work and collect commercial facts.
- Owners reconstruct status from Salesforce and Jira.
Professional Services
Engagement and project intake
Approved commercial work reaches delivery without consistent operational scope, owners, milestones, assumptions or risk information.
Business problem
Approved commercial work reaches delivery without consistent operational scope, owners, milestones, assumptions or risk information.
Why it happens
- No shared state spans Salesforce, Jira, Database.
- Decision and exception rules are applied inconsistently.
Why it becomes expensive
- Capacity is consumed by coordination and rework.
- Late exceptions weaken visibility and service quality.
Business outcomes
- Shorter confirm delivery readiness cycle
- Fewer handoff and missing-information exceptions
- Clear ownership from receive approved work to confirm delivery readiness
- Inspectable decisions and recovery
Measurable KPIs
- Turnaround time: Elapsed time from receive approved work to confirm delivery readiness.
- Manual intervention rate: Share of items needing a person outside defined review conditions.
- Exception age: Time unresolved exceptions remain without a completed action.
- Successful completion rate: Share of valid workflow items completing without terminal failure.
How the workflow works
- Receive approved work — Accept and identify the engagement and project intake trigger. Salesforce
- Collect commercial facts — Execute collect commercial facts with validated sample data and an auditable result. Salesforce
- Validate scope — Execute validate scope with validated sample data and an auditable result. Jira
- Create engagement record — Execute create engagement record with validated sample data and an auditable result. Database
- Assign owners — Execute assign owners with validated sample data and an auditable result. Salesforce
- Create milestones — Execute create milestones with validated sample data and an auditable result. Jira
- Register risks — Execute register risks with validated sample data and an auditable result. Database
- Confirm delivery readiness — Execute confirm delivery readiness with validated sample data and an auditable result. SEIDO Review Queue
- Audit and KPI update — Persist the execution outcome, audit facts and workflow measurement events. SEIDO execution store
Integrations and ownership
- Salesforce: Provide workflow input
- Jira: Lookup and update context
- Database: Receive controlled outcome
Human responsibility: Engagement manager
Failure and recovery
Salesforce is temporarily unavailable.
Retry with capped exponential backoff; preserve the run and move it to the inspectable failure queue after the limit.
Required data for collect commercial facts is malformed or missing.
Stop downstream actions and show the missing fields, source evidence and correction action to the named reviewer.
The trigger or provider event is delivered more than once.
Return the existing execution identified by the idempotency key and do not repeat downstream business actions.
The human decision expires before completion.
Escalate to the configured substitute, retain the original request and record both expiry and reassignment.
When not to build this
- Monthly volume is too low to justify integrating Salesforce, Jira, Database.
- An existing configured platform already handles engagement and project intake with adequate ownership and reporting.
- Reliable source data or supported API access is unavailable.
- No business owner has authority to define the decision and exception rules.
