Microsoft SureStep
December 17, 2016 11:35 amThe key points offered by Sure Step Methodology can be summarised:
- Some form of sensible methodology is required, typically this will derive from Prince2
- SureStep was designed specifically for Dynamics implementations
- It is a proven methodology with all supporting documents already available
- Aligns our implementation approach with other Microsoft partners, thereby facilitating collaboration where required
“In my 25 years in the IT industry, I have never seen a system go in with so few issues.”Lee Kingshott, IS Director, Brookson
What is Microsoft Sure Step?
- A methodology and set of tools to help with implementation, optimisation, and upgrade of core Microsoft Dynamics solutions
- It unifies project management principles with an implementation methodology and solution-specific guidance and tools
- It is built for partners and Microsoft Consultants to help increase their productivity and efficiency
- It helps improve project success rates and reduces risk through consistent, repeatable, and predictable processes
- It helps increase customer confidence and drives more customer value and satisfaction with their Microsoft Dynamics solution
Day One Consistent Approach
Following the success of Sure Step for implementations, Microsoft introduced a Solution Selling methodology that compliments the post-sales experience. At TVision we think this is great as it helps set expectations from the first contact you have with us all the way through to post-live support.Flexible Approach
Fundamentally an implementation methodology is designed to ensure the greatest chance of project success. If the methodology does not suit your organisation then there is conflict with that aim; therefore, we recognise that certain aspects of the approach may need to be flexed to suit each client. There are three core aspects to any implementation:- Understanding Requirements and Agreeing Scope
- System Build / Configuration
- System Migration
