Good practices for implementing business software


 * Questions
 * How much time is available for implementing the software?
 * How many users will use the software in phase 1?
 * How much training is needed?
 * Plan
 * Start with a plan.
 * In the nearby future business software will almost work out-of-the-box.
 * Your implementation provider will provide a few templates to get you started.
 * Integration with other systems is the hard part.
 * Processes
 * It is a best practice to start with the processes.
 * Create flows in for instance Microsoft Visio and discuss possible gaps with the customer.
 * Execution
 * Create an overview of the most important epics of phase 1. See implementing Talent for an example.
 * Discuss tasks and responsibilities.
