IMPLEMENTATION OF TOOLS

The most important objectives in any implementation of tools for project management are to secure strategic alignment and participation. Thus, the definition of the scope for the implementation will be a critical success factor.
 
We use a structured implementation model using the following phases:

• Envisioning – the project Vision and Scope is defined and a release plan is agreed upon.
• Planning – Specification of the exact functionality and a detailed project plan.
• Development – A prototype is configured based on the specifications from the Planning phase. Training of the employees begins.
• Stabilizing – The approved configuration is moved into the production environment and a pilot is established
• Deployment – After a successful pilot the solution is handed over to operations and rolled out to users.

For smaller organizations and parts of organizations that need an accelerator to verify the usability and ROI of a tool to support the project process, we provide Best Practices configuration kits that will allow for quick starts.
