We all know the time, its at the end of a long project. There are several things to move live in just the right order. Some items we can do ourselves, others we need assistance from other members of our team.
It may be a good practice to take the time, before moving a project into production to review an implementation checklist with members of your team. This checklist consists the sequence of events and activities needed for the live event. The review group would consist of a business representative, the IT personel, and maybe even operations team members. The checklist serves several purposes. First it makes sure that you have everything you need listed, and other eyes can help out here (They may find that forgotten something) Secondly, it conveys the overall live implementation plan and allocates resource responsibility appropriately. Everyone understands who is doing what.

2 Comments to “Implementation Checklist”
What's your thoughts on re-use of 'standard' implementation checklists? I'm a fan of the concept, but I note that we have a lot of difficulty with re-use of the standard checklist. Details aren't applicable from one project to the next, yet not having the details seems to lose the benefit of the standard, next time we do that kind of project. Is there a happy medium?
