SCOPING ACCURACY:
How well did your implementation partner scope the work and understand your needs during the pre-sales process?
Partner did not identify issues that came up during implementation and we had some change orders
Was the implementation team who actually performed the work the same team that was proposed?
Slight change in team
What “Lessons Learned” would you provide to others implementing with this partner / software? What else would you tell us about your project experience?
Seek some additional support from your solution vendor as a resource or go-between. The concern is that the implementation partner is not in the long-term relationship, and has different short-term motivation for the project.
