Apart from selecting the appropriate PPM tool, choosing an optimal implementation method is also a key aspect of introducing a new solution. The answer to this is not always trivial. As is often the case, it may depend on your use cases, goals, and schedule, for example.
At itdesign we are familiar with this situation. We have been helping companies implement Clarity for over 15 years now. Based on this, we have developed two implementation methods to give our customers the perfect start with Clarity: itd Quick Start and itd SIM. This article is devoted to itd SIM (Secure Implementation Method). This implementation method focuses on customizing the solution to your individual requirements.
Clarity is a very versatile and highly customizable solution. Numerous features allow you to map a large number of business processes and scenarios. You can even find ready-made templates for many of these processes and scenarios. The requirements are sometimes very specific and complex, however. Business processes may also differ from company to company. Clarity offers a high degree of flexibility and configurability to cover these. One essential factor in choosing the right implementation method is determining how important individual adaptations may be for you.
itd SIM will be the right method for you if you feel that customization to suit individual requirements and the mapping of your business processes is of paramount importance. Choose itd SIM if an iterative and flexible process during implementation is also important to you. However, if getting started with Clarity as quickly as possible is more important, and if you do not mind later adapting the standard solution after the initial implementation phase, we recommend the itd Quick Start implementation method.
itd SIM runs in short, iterative development cycles oriented towards agile working methods. It allows us to continuously incorporate your feedback while ensuring that the end result really meets your requirements. This approach allows us to deliver results regularly as well as at short intervals, and it ensures that project progress always remains transparent and comprehensible.
The implementation method includes several phases and joint workshops, which can usually be completed within 11 months. Find detailed information on the itd SIM process in the download below.
itd SIM offers a whole range of benefits. The most obvious would be ensuring the optimal adaptation of Clarity to your requirements. Another is the implementation of Clarity in iterative development and delivery cycles. This allow you to contribute your feedback early as your requirements are refined and optimized at each step of the process. Close collaboration and communication during implementation allow you to benefit from our best practices and experience as well. This is how we ensure that you really get the optimal benefit from your Clarity implementation.
Apart from customization and flexibility, the iterative approach has other benefits as well. For example, you can repeatedly involve all the key stakeholders in your company in the ongoing process and then also respond to their feedback. One of the best ways to increase the acceptance of a new solution is to involve the users in the process and to be able to demonstrate that the solution is really developed for their needs. User acceptance, in turn, is a decisive factor to any solution’s success and relevance.
