Transition
Transition is the final Phase of implementation. It is the stage where your new software is deployed into your organization. At this stage, it is vital that all the elements of the various Phases dovetail together, which is where the detailed earlier preparation stages come into play.
During Transition, our project team will train and educate your new users, whilst the technical team will configure the system and Production Environment for you. In-depth User Acceptance Testing (UAT) is also performed during Transition. This is an important stage for both our team and your users, and change management is handled as a top priority.
Transition ends with the cut over to production, when users start performing their job using the new system. If a phased deployment is being employed, Transition may consist of multiple deployments where subsets of the applications may be deployed to various geographical sites and/or business units at different times.
Production begins immediately with the production cutover. It marks the last phase of the implementation and the beginning of the system support cycle. A series of refinements and performance measurement steps is included in this final phase. It may also be appropriate to think about sending users on one of our Training courses.
Final project objectives:
- Transition and launch your application in a production environment
- Confirm your readiness to maintain and extend your application
Transition Phase Deliverables:
- Transition Plan
- System Testing Plan
- Technical Documentation
- Application Documentation
- User/Administration Guides
Timescale: Typically 3-5 weeks
During this last Phase, you will usually have a project team consisting of:
- Project Manager
- System Test Engineers
- Education Consultants
- Documentation Specialist
