Overview

This best practice provides recommendations to help mitigate common risks prior to the launch of your digital workplace solution.

Recommendation

Below are the most common risks to a successful launch:

• Your funding gets cut or delayed
• Executive sponsorship wants to change the plan
• You can’t secure the right or enough resources
• A competing project “pops up”
• The launch falls at a poor time e.g. seasonal, corporate acquisition
• You have very strong blockers in the company
• You run into some technical issues

To mitigate these risks, here are some helpful tips:

• Ensure everyone is clear is the scope and that project plans map to all scoped items
• Ensure all team members agree to the tasks in the project plan
• Ensure the structure is in place to support the project during and post implementation
• Ensure that your internal plan is aligned with Igloo’s implementation and launch plans
• Ensure there is clarity on roles and responsibilities
• Ensure there is executive sponsorship or participation
• Ensure that the appropriate technical resources are involved
