Each project begins based on an agreed-upon start date. Once a project is scheduled to begin, these are the general phases for our implementation approach:
Implementation Phases
- Planning
- Interface Kickoff – develop project charter, interface kickoff meeting
- Planning – document integration definition, detailed project timeline and tasks, cost estimate
- Analysis & Design
- Design Document – interface design specification including mapping
- Data Governance – discussions with data owners
- Security Review – meet with security team to discuss application security
- Develop
- Development – create interface design specification, include data governance and security requirements, complete development and unit testing
- Testing
- Testing Preparation – testing roles/responsibilities, define test strategy, prepare test cases and scripts
- Performance Testing (if applicable) – execute test cases, record results, tune as needed, user acceptance
- End to End Testing - execute test cases, record results, fix as needed, user acceptance
- Monitor and Alert Testing (if applicable) - execute test cases, record results, tune as needed, user acceptance
- Cutover
- Cutover Planning – go/no go criteria, define change control needs, communication plan, timeline, user acceptance
- Production Go Live – execute cutover plan, go/no go decision, transition to support/maintenance, project close out
