What worked well? Where did you see opportunities for improvement?

Wins - Communication

  • WIKI good. Used it. Good to have meeting notes.
  • No negative feedback from community.
  • VPF sent business impact info. 

Challenges - Communication

  • Highlight test database more. Which test environment to use to test? Hard to find, confusing.
  • User newer version of Wiki.
  • Not everyone got cutover weekend updates. Make it voluntary if interested. Sign-up roster. 
  • Expected update for each step - not sure if steps 1-x done.
  • Some confusion about UAT start and end dates. Then took 2 days for Lisa to do closing. Delayed due to fixing issue. Show FI close in the schedule from the start. 
  • Explore what other testing can continue while close in progress. But have to keep close accurate.
  • No idea what is in the enhancement packs. Didn't know it was on the Wiki.

Schedule - The project schedule was primarily based on prior years experience and it's start and finish times were restricted to a window whose  start is dependent on the time packs are made available by SAP and whose finish be completed before the start of the new Payroll year. Although not entirely flexible, there might be some opportunities to change details within our schedule.
