SCOPING ACCURACY:

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?
Team changed a lot
What “Lessons Learned” would you provide to others implementing with this partner / software? What else would you tell us about your project experience?
Communication is key. Be very intentional, direct, and explicit in what you need and what you expect. Do not take anything for granted – get it in writing.
