The Plan Stage

The components of Planning are widely understood but are often either skipped due to being considered either anti-Agile or not correctly performed due to the belief they'll take too much time.


In reality companies can move through this entire stage in 90 days AND have key stakeholder alignment on what is important and how many strategic dollars each step should receive. â€‹

​​

The 6 key components. Note these are all planning only, to create time, cost, and benefit estimates and align all stakeholders:

  1. Identify Optimization Opportunities: 

  2. Business Process Re-engineering: 

  3. Systems Rationalization:

  4. AI Roadmap:

  5. Business Case Development:

  6. Accelerated RFI/RFP: Get both an RFI & RFP done as fast as 90 days. Skipping them adds risk, time saved is almost always burned during implementation, and companies often miss out on innovations by newer vendors.

​​

ProTip: To minimize disagreements that extend timelines and complicate downstream activities, use the business and people architecture from the Define stage as the foundation.
