Project Management & Implementation
Methodology

EWA's
comprehensive implementation methodology ensures a formalized and consistent
approach to all engagements, and is based on PMI, Six Sigma and ITIL
principles.
The
methodology is comprised of four distinct phases:
Scoping,
Analysis and Design, Development and Deployment, with each phase consisting
of a pre-defined set of objectives, tasks and deliverables.
The
EWA implementation methodology effectively guides project teams through
any EWA engagement.
Scoping
The
first phase defines goals and creates a plan in order to ensure your
project gets off on the right track. EWA professionals work with you
to determine what needs to get done, how it will get done, and who will
do it. Part of the process involves spending time with you to understand
your business and what business issues you are trying to solve. Having
a comprehensive understanding of your objectives and priorities enables
EWA to determine usage requirements and project goals that deliver results.
Analysis and Design
Once
the plan is in place, EWA performs the analysis necessary to develop
specific technical architecture and business requirements. Based on
those requirements, we create a detailed project plan that includes
sections on testing, training, documentation and migration. At the end
of this phase, the project team has a clear understanding and idea of
how to develop the solution.
Development
The
development phase represents the bulk of the project, with the detailed
design created in the analysis and design phase guiding the project
team through it. The tasks involved in the development phase - such
as migrating content, configuring the application and integrating the
system into the existing IT architecture - are focused on building and
testing the EWA solution. Once the system is up and running, EWA professionals
plan and execute tests to ensure the design specifications have been
met.
Deployment
During
deployment, EWA finalizes the product deliverables and ensures the project
is complete and the client is satisfied with the results. Although knowledge
transfer is a key objective in every phase, we believe it is an especially
critical component of this last phase. EWA professionals will work with
you to make sure your team is up to speed and able to continue to maintain
and run the solution effectively.
It
is important to note that while EWA utilizes its own methodology, we
also recognize the need to work within client environments and leverage
their methodologies as appropriate. Our approach has the flexibility
to adjust to client-specific conditions while maintaining the appropriate
controls needed to ensure successful project outcomes.
Project Management Discipline
Poorly
managed projects result in problems, delays and wasted money. EWA eliminates
this risk by ensuring that formal project management is a key component
in each engagement. This emphasis on project management increases the
efficiency of the team and keeps projects on track, resulting in efforts
that are structured and managed to deliver desired results. EWA's project
management professionals are involved in every engagement, with responsibilities
that include:
- Development
and management of the scope, work plan, schedule and budget
- Oversight
of the installation, configuration and development of the solution
- Issue
management and resolution
- Project
status
- Team
management and communication
- Quality
assurance and governance
