  1. Lessons Learned From 100 Blue Mountain RAM Implementations Nick Kilmer, Project Manager

  2. Lessons Learned Project planning Project execution Project Go-Live / Operation

  3. Project Planning • Spend more time planning • Define and document the entire project • Allows for better estimates of time and cost and therefore better expectations • Less likely to experience delays later in the project

  4. Project Planning • Understand your requirements • Project / business objectives • User requirements • Regulatory requirements

  5. Project Planning • Identify Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) • Bring process understanding • Represent the user base • Streamline configuration / decision making • Should be unbiased

  6. Project Execution • The importance of a strong leader • Ability to motivate the project team • Authority to make decisions • Good team communication • Provides continuity

  7. Project Execution • Gaining user acceptance • User acceptance testing • Demonstrate the benefits • Stay positive

  8. Project Execution • Project scope / change management • Change is inevitable • Rely on project objectives and User Requirements • Evaluate the same as an operational change • Create a backlog

  9. Project Go-Live / Operation • Create a transition plan • Document the steps required for a successful Go Live • Outline the required resources • Set target dates

  10. Project Go-Live / Execution • Establish a monitoring period / pilot • Release the system to a smaller user base • Allows for real world use • Work out the kinks

  11. Project Go-Live / Execution • Schedule periodic reviews • Allows for user feedback • Ensures the system is still meeting requirements • Backlog / wish list

  12. Project Go-Live / Execution • Perform lessons learned • Rarely get it right the first time • Each change / upgrade is a miniature project
