You want a successful go-live. This one simple yet often overlooked step will help you get there! 👇
✅ 𝗣𝗿𝗼 𝘁𝗶𝗽: structure the go-live activities into distinct, manageable phases to help you minimize the burden on the actual go-live day by either pre-loading activities in the pre-cutover phase or pushing them out to later stages.
Here’s a breakdown of the initial key high-level time phases to consider, and why they are important:
𝗣𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝘂𝘁-𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿: Load as many activities as possible here to ease the go-live day burden. This includes finalizing data migrations, completing system tests, and training users. 🛠️
𝗖𝘂𝘁-𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 / 𝗚𝗼-𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲: Minimize activities on the actual go-live day. Focus on executing the final data cutover, system switchover, and validating critical functions. 🎯
𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟭: Monitor system performance, address immediate issues, and provide on-site support for users. 👨💻
𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝟭: Stabilize the environment by ongoing performance monitoring, fixing non-critical issues, and ensuring user adaptation. 📊
𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝟭: Shift to optimization and improvement, conduct a comprehensive review, and plan for future enhancements. 📈
By organizing activities into these phases, you can ensure a smoother, more controlled go-live process.
How can you apply this phased approach to your upcoming go-live projects to enhance efficiency and reduce risk?
