  • Promote buy-in on all levels
  • Define high-quality requirements that reduce errors and waste
  • Springboard to an end result that delivers exactly what you need

 

Plan Efficiently to Reap Benefits Quickly

 

Our three-step project definition process helps you save time and money and speeds overall project delivery, so you see a return on your investment as soon as possible.

 

Step 1: Planning Meeting: A kickoff discussion with primary project sponsors to pinpoint expectations, overall needs, agenda topics, and participants.

 

Step 2: Stakeholders' Work Sessions: Structured, facilitated sessions that bring together business managers, IT staff, executives, subject matter experts, and stakeholders to delve into complex issues and ensure informed decisions. Examples of common topics we explore:

 

  • Industry Background and Analysis
  • Business Drivers
  • Prioritized Business Requirements
  • IT Standards
  • Context Diagram
  • Data Flow Diagrams
  • Use Cases
  • Return-on-Investment (ROI) Opportunities
  • End-to-End Process Flow
  • Governance
  • Project Risks and Assumptions
  • Critical Success Factors


Step 3: Workshop Documentation Delivery: A written analysis that forms the basis for project definition, funding, approval, detailed design, requirements tracking, test plan creation, and implementation steps. From this documentation, USi can create a technical blueprint for your eCommerce application that includes technology recommendations, integration points, and functional specifications.
