Pilot Go-Live

eProposal Design and Build Approach

Iterative/modified agile

Design strategy identifies and sequences eProposal build and configuration needs

Identification of “must have” functionality for go-live, and functionality deemed needed but not required for go-live (implemented as time permits before go-live)

Ongoing meetings and site visits with vendor to review mock-ups and design/build concepts

SME meetings to get input on design, answer questions; to leverage SME group to connect to their PIs

eProposal Design and Build Approach (2)

Change management strategy includes roll-out strategy for use of current and new systems during transition period

Systems integration architecture under developmentData flows documentedSystem integration to be finalized

Once all processes/system data needs finalized, reporting strategy to be finalized
