Phase 1 - Assessment and Strategy Blueprint

From DocWiki

The Phase 1 - Assessment and Strategy Blueprint is often rather short in duration. If undertaken with a consultant or contractor, it is also the opportunity for all parties to understand needs and expectations.

The assessment relies heavily on the structure and content of this DocWiki, subject to close consultation and discussion with the owner. Expectations, technical requirements, functional requirements and desires, personnel, other stakeholders, and budgets and timelines are inspected and combined into an overall plan.

That plan may or may not conform exactly to the specific phasing herein. Also, depending on that assessment, new development and requirements might also emerge.

The net result of this assessment phase is to develop an overall plan and budget for subsequent phases. By necessity, the detail and precision is higher in earlier phases, less in later ones. In addition, multiple increments over later phases may also be defined.

Much of what is contained on this DocWiki provides a general outline and content for what such a plan might include. A key aspect of the implementation that begins in the next phase is to update and modify this DocWiki based on the specific plan at hand.
