SCOPING ACCURACY:
How well did your implementation partner scope the work and understand your needs during the pre-sales process?
Partner scoped and quoted the work precisely
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?
Start early on the Discovery process because you may need to re-engineer some processes to take advantage of the software. If you have complex requirements, it will be well worth it to have an external implementer walk you through the process (the upfront costs may be higher but will save lots of time and money in the long run).
