Conclusion

Now that you’ve read this first chapter, you’re probably thinking to yourself, “Do I really want to do this? Do I really want to read the rest of this book? Do I really want to be an SA???” I promise you, if you do continue reading, you’ll hear lots of examples of when things go right and when they go disastrously sideways. Most of these examples are from projects that I’ve been involved in, but many come from people in the community who have shared their experiences with me at conferences, in presentations, or in one-to-one conversations. By the end of the book, you’ll hopefully know how to avoid situations where a project can fail.

Hopefully, at this point, you’ll see how the role of an SA is important in making a project a success. In the next chapter, we’re going to look at the Microsoft FastTrack for Dynamics 365 project methodology. The goal we will attempt to achieve is to see how you can work within the methodology to successfully implement your D365 F&SCM projects.
