Implementation / Go-Live – Your Big Project
Your Big Project - Series 1 Episode 12 - Implementation / Go-Live
Welcome to Implementation / Go-Live, talk twelve in the series 'Your Big Project'. Hopefully this series of podcasts will improve the chances of success for your project. We always consider the good, the bad and the extremely ugly!
Implementation / Go-Live is where your work becomes reality. If you have skipped steps or haven't done things thoroughly enough you will have a disaster. This lack of commitment to deliver a successful solution can kill your successful business.
It is unlikely that everything will be perfect:
There may be minor flaws - correct them before customers notice
Minor flaws, corrected, will not kill your business
If you can transact normally and accurately with customers you should be OK
If it is a disaster, you cannot sort out the mess after go-live - you will need to stop and go back and try implementation again later
Remember the JFDIs, wanting an implementation bonus, will push you to go before you're ready. They'll make light of the issues - don't listen to them as their attitude creates disasters that destroy years of building successful businesses - in days.
If you have followed the steps I have laid out, checked all the data rigorously, trained people properly and tested thoroughly there is a chance that it might work!
