Chapter 3: Creating a Project Plan
In the previous chapter, we learned how methodologies affect the outcome of any NetSuite implementation and how to evaluate your approach using one. Every time you start a new NetSuite implementation, you'll need to develop a project plan, spelling out the steps in the process, that is, showing your methodology in action. We will cover some tips for making each implementation project a success.
In this chapter, we will learn about the following:
- What goes into a project plan?
- Applying your methodology to the project plan
- Conference room pilots, walkthroughs, and UAT
- Living with the plan as changes occur
With this understanding, you should have a clearer idea of how a project plan can help you kick off your implementation projects on the right foot, and you should complete them successfully if you follow this plan throughout the project. Using the ideas here, you will learn how to test whether your team is on track...
