Changing products makes sense when the work to complete changes. Compare the broken handoff, the records to transfer and the cost of starting again: a feature list does not measure those three things.

Define the outcome and records
For this topic the control starts with manager/team relationships, roles and current employee records.
An organization chart represents people, roles and reporting relationships. Leave management adds requests, periods and approval to availability. A pending request and an approved absence have different planning effects.
Link the person to a team and manager; record requested period and review outcome. Check that a manager change does not leave open requests without an approver and approved absence is reflected in availability.
A pilot on the complete workflow
Move a person between teams and check manager and access. A useful org chart reflects the real structure; a diagram alone does not establish that permissions follow the change.
Before the demo, write three required outcomes and one acceptable tradeoff. Value recovered time only after measuring on the same basis. Have the actual owner complete a cycle and retain errors, corrections and final output. If the pilot stops halfway, identify the missing module, integration or step in the quotation.
Rules, exceptions and work cost
Define who enters, corrects and approves records. Test an incomplete record, a duplicate and a change after closure. The decision changes when records can be exported with relationships rather than manually reconstructed. Count licenses, onboarding, team time and integration maintenance separately.
