The first step in a successful implementation is to fully understand and set the scope of the implementation. This includes outlining all expectations, understanding which roles and apps will be implemented and selecting the appropriate implementation approach.
It’s essential to define the project governance structure. This includes an inventory of dedicated project management resources and business analysts, the setting of expectations with the user community and management and defining the role of IT.
Working with the identified stakeholders, it’s important to perform an initial assessment of all possible phases of the project. This involves mapping project requirements to available functionality and determining if any customizations are required.
Finally, the team needs to consider licensing requirements and plan for a data migration step in the process, which has specific time and resource requirements.
