Assessment: Align and Focus
|
|
The first step towards delivering a successful enterprise software project
is to determine the vision, goals, and objectives of key stakeholders
such as executives, department managers, users, customers, project
managers, and consultants.
How would a new system improve the operations of your department?
How would a new system benefit the end-customer? What features/functionality
of your current system require the most improvement?
Once you have aligned and documented stakeholder objectives, you can
move confidently to the next phase of the project.

In either case, DecisionDirector 3.0 can accelerate the project by
confirming alignment or providing a process for re-alignment.)
