User needs analysis
Understanding your end-user requirements is critical to ensure successful design and development of your solution in SharePoint. Without this stage, the outcome of your project will be led by technology rather than the benefit sought by your organisation. Driving a project forward by selecting software upfront will only result in a desire to adopt all functionality on offer. This is counter productive as ultimately users will be left wondering if their requirements were ever considered and demonstrate reluctance to embrace the solution.
Our Solution Architects can help you to create the following key building blocks of a requirements specification to ensure a successful project.
- End-user requirements definition – a matrix to prioritise end-user requirements identified through facilitated workshops and interviews.
- Technology appraisal and selection – a review and appraisal of appropriate technology solutions that will enable you to realise the prioritised end-user requirements.
- Functional specification and pricing – indicative costs for realising functional requirements, with options for a high and low specification build.
- Project plan – a detailed roadmap that sets out the modular phases of the project.
