Phase 8: Production Implementation

In this phase, you will implement into production all the work you have done so far – after a consultation period with the end users. This is really the first stage of production implementation. By the end of this phase you will be using Control-D to produce all the printed reports of your selected pilot application.

We will detail which steps are required for Control-D going "live" in the production environment and what should be done following the implementation.

Some of the questions we will be answering in this phase are:

• What needs to be done before the implementation?
• How do I prepare the end users for the implementation?
• How do I select an implementation date?
• What tasks need to be performed for the implementation?
• What needs to be done after the implementation?
