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 well, but our needs changed during implementation
Was the implementation team who actually performed the work the same team that was proposed?
No change
What “Lessons Learned” would you provide to others implementing with this partner / software? What else would you tell us about your project experience?
The delays were from our side, as well naturally delays relapse in adding costs, as part of the lessons learned we (Partner and Client) should have started the project later once we had full agreement on the business process and no changes need to be made or approve. But we started and we just got a total process change that resulted in massive delays and change requests.
This was not partner’s fault, it was ours, as Client.
