Build Your Enterprise Application Implementation Playbook
Your implementation doesn’t start with technology, but with an effective plan that the team can align on.
Book This WorkshopNot putting together an effective playbook will:
- Cause the implementation team to put in place something that isn’t aligned with what the organization needs.
- Lead to a greater number of difficult-to-resolve issues with stakeholders and the project sponsor.
- Lead to a greater chance for the overall implementation to fail.
Building your Enterprise Application Implementation Playbook enables you to:
- Keep the end in mind, maintaining focus on what is most important in the implementation phase.
- Identify the stakeholders and sponsors up front before getting started.
- Defining the scope, steps, and approach in a manner that enables quick alignment on your approach for implementation.
