For each Project:
Identify Project Scope and Deliverables
For each project
identified by the joint team, a meeting will be held to discuss and capture the
specific scope and deliverables associated with the iteration. Scope identification will include the
specific requirements to be implemented including any additional information or
requirements derived by the joint team. Deliverables will be identified that will include but not be
limited to requirements, solution design documents, implementation components,
test plans and procedures, deployment plans and end user training. EIS will capture this information,
document, and deliver the results.
Planning
The joint team will
create a plan that will identify the activities required to meet the scope and
deliverables of the project. The
plan will include high-level information on how the activities will be
performed with descriptions that can be used in the implementation. Milestones of the iteration will be
identified including review and approval meetings for the deliverables
identified.
Implementation
The implementation
phase will include the execution of the activities identified in the plan.
Activities include but are not limited to requirements generation, solution design,
creation of the implementation components, testing and deployment. Deliverables
will be created by EIS and reviewed by the joint team and other stakeholders to
ensure the implementation satisfies the customer requirements.
Verification
The iteration implementation
will be verified by the customer according to the requirements and any test
plans and procedures developed as deliverables for the project. The customer will approve or disapprove
the implementation for promotion to the end user environment (deployment). If the implementation is disapproved, the
customer will identify the causes of verification failure for correction. The implementation will be corrected and
verification conducted until approved.
Deployment
The iteration will be
deployed to a production environment after successful verification by the
customer. Updates to the system
will be applied to the KONFIG application components with notices sent to the
end users describing the new updates and the anticipated downtime of the system
while the updates are applied. KONFIG
requires minimal downtime to apply implementation updates.
End User Training
End user training
documentation will be created as a deliverable during the implementation phase
in preparation for the deployment. EIS can assist or conduct the end user training to customer
personnel.
