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?
A better understanding of the difference between the two implementation methodologies (Launch and Your Way) offered by Workday would have helped us estimate the likely timeframe and cost of the project. I would also encourage companies to spend more time undertaking the training recommended by Workday in advance of the foundational alignment sessions.
