Understand your business requirements:

Define what you want! Better business decisions come from a better understanding of your business requirements. Run a business requirement analysis to figure out the business objectives.

Vendor selection process:

The estimated project price and the rate should not be the only criteria to choose your vendor. Analyze how deeply the vendor understands your project requirements. You can ask in-depth questions during the pre-screening process. You can also study the vendor’s portfolio during the year of the business.

Project launch:

Once your vendor is selected, it’s time to assign responsibilities among team members. Once the project team is finalized, make a launch announcement letting the organization know who is in charge and undertaking the implementation process.

Get into the minor details of project implementation:

Once you announce the official launch of your project, it’s time to identify and document the specific business processes that you would be considering during software implementation. The team leads and the business experts would get together to fine-tune the project implementation and identify specific approaches that they might need to implement the project.

Software configuration:

During this stage, the team leads of the functional team transfer pre-defined business requirements to the technical teams. The technical team ensures management, runs, organizes, and maintains the systems, servers and software to meet the business requirements across all departments.

Test software configuration:

Validate the configuration of the software to ensure the whole team is on the same page. Both the functional team and the technical team have to agree on some terms and conditions during this stage.

User Acceptance Testing (UAT):

User Acceptance Testing (UAT) provides great insight into UI & UX issues. At this stage, the in-depth end-to-end test is conducted to see the real-world application of the software. The practical applicability of the software provides the business with confidence in its ability to meet their requirements.

On-board your vendor & other stakeholders:

Based on their experience, your vendors and stakeholders can share experiences and give you valuable suggestions about the software transition and implementation. They also bring practical information about the end users.

Going live:

In this step, your software goes live from the testing phase to the production phase. Once your software goes live, it’s when your stakeholders and customers need your involvement the most. You can improve the communication level to answer any instant queries they have.

Always welcome feedback:

Always be open to receiving suggestions and feedback. This will allow you to improve your software implementations. Conduct surveys, ask both open & closed questions and encourage your team and customers to analyze the project software critically. You can also use marketing gamification software to make gathering feedback interactive and attractive.
