Example of CRM Project Plan
Once our CRM Consultants have engaged on a new project, we custom tailor an implementation schedule specifically to meet the needs of the customer and internal initatives. To give you an idea of a typical project plan, here is an example of the schedule milestones.
Individual task time is dependant on project complexity and availability of the client team members assigned to the project. The majority of the project will occur via remote meetings and email communication, however business requirements gathering and user training will include our CRM consultants, in-person meeting with your staff. During the business requirements phase, we may discover that additional hardware components are necessary to optimally run CRM in your environment. In the event that this occurs, we will work with you to find the best solution. One of the most important components of the project plan is Data Migration Planning. This phase usually requires input from a decision maker and can sometimes involve manual clean-up. Our Dynamics CRM experts are avilable to assist with the manual data clean-up, however someone from you company is best suited to make these changes as they are more familiar with the data.
