Success Factors  :- BizXpert Methodology

Success Factors introduced a new project methodology called BizXpert Methodology. This method is similar to SAP ASAP Methodology .  

BizXpert Methodology – Phases :

 Sales: During the Sales phase, the scope of the project is determined. The scope includes the technical and functional scoping. During this phase the transition from the sales cycle to consulting is initiated.

Prepare: During the Prepare phase, the PTO (Project Team Orientation) is initiated. This phase includes project planning, on-boarding the team, kick-off meetings, and conducting workshops for requirements gathering.

Realize: During this phase, the Success Factors instance is configured. Based on user inputs, the requirements are refined and reflected in the configuration. Data migration, technical developments, integrations (data imports/exports) are also initiated. This phase includes unit testing as well configuration verifications.

Verify: Integration testing is conducted during this phase, followed by User Acceptance Testing (UAT). Go-live training is initiated during the end of this phase.

Launch: During this phase go-live planning and the cut-over plan is initiated. This phase includes transitioning the instance to the customer and start of go-live support. On successful transition to the customer, the project is closed.

Each phase includes check-points, which are listed in Table 1.
