Our Approach
Our 3D Deployment Process (Design, Deliver, Deploy) is a clear, transparent, and practical change management process focused on your needs.
We work with you every step of the way to help you identify and implement your requirements on BrightWork 365.
During this process, we’ll collaborate with the project management champion from your group as our main contact. We’ll also work with additional senior managers, project managers, and team members as needed.
Step 1
Design
Your designated BrightWork 365 Customer Success Partner will work with your senior project management sponsors to capture your organization’s project management vision, both short and long-term.
Together we prioritize your requirements to determine which ones to include in Start (Iteration 1) and what should go in the Backlog (for later implementation), or what we like to call your Evolve Plan.
The BrightWork 365 Start Service provides for the design of templates to manage Projects, Programs and Portfolios (to deliver on senior management level visibility).
Step 2
Deliver
Your BrightWork 365 Customer Success Partner will work with you to configure the templates and build out the real projects for your team. This configuration can be done by your team or our solution development team.
Key stakeholders will review and verify the template design before continuing.
This ensures the amount of project management process to be implemented is right for your current needs.
Your BrightWork 365 Customer Success Partner will prioritize this stakeholder feedback with you to determine which items are to be adjusted immediately or added to the Backlog for the Evolve Plan.
Certain customer requests will necessitate work beyond configuration and therefore deeper customization of the solution will be required. In these cases, BrightWork will work with you to deliver any customizations via an additional managed solution (i.e., the ‘customer solution’). The customer solution is installed on top of the BrightWork 365 managed solution.
Step 3
Deploy
Your BrightWork 365 Customer Success Partner will work with you to design a role-based training plan that suits your project management processes so your group can start using the solution as soon as possible.
At this stage, you go live and start using BrightWork 365!
Your BrightWork 365 Customer Success Partner will conduct feedback sessions with you and your teams after some initial usage to determine if some items need to be adjusted immediately and to agree with you on what should go on the Backlog (for the Evolve plan).
You and your BrightWork 365 Customer Success Partner will check and formally declare all in-scope ‘Start’ deliverables achieved and will update the Project Management Strategy that guides project management success.
Your BrightWork 365 Customer Success Partner will do a post-deployment check after a few months and will be available to you as needed in the interim.
