Deliverables in prepare phase

Let's see what is done or expected to be done in streams that are part of this Q-Gate. The project management stream is the deliverables for this stream that start with the handover from the sales team to the services delivery team. The two teams together review the statement of work (SOW) scope, business drivers, goals, objectives, and relevant success metrics.

Once done, the project manager, along with the customer, finalizes the project schedule, identifies project resources, procures tenant(s), creates the project document repository, and initiates the project status calls/reports. The project is formally kicked off onsite or remotely with the entire team via a workshop:

  • Solution design stream: The best practices for the to-be business processes are reviewed with the customer, and configuration values are acquired. The project scope is finalized and confirmed in this stream. If the project scope varies from the statement of work, then a change order is executed.
  • Integration preparation: The prerequisites for integration, security, and infrastructure are prepared by the team. If there is data replication required, the necessary mapping is done.

The project verification Q-Gate confirms that all stakeholders agree on the implementation scope before proceeding with the project.
