Normally the implementation phase lasts for 6 months, and proper roadmap is followed during implementation.
First comes the project preparation phase where sign up of the project, assignment of team members, presentations are done.
Next is blueprint phase, where AS IS AND TO BE methodology is used. AS IS method, you take input from client of there current system setting and in TO BE you create the blueprint with all the processes required and all the documentation on the configuration. Once blueprint is signed, then starts the realization phase.
Realization phase is the longest phase, where the configuration takes place, testing client is created, where TRAIN THE TRAINER phase is applied, where powerusers are trained by you. After that comes UAT = user acceptance training which is mostly done on QAS client where all the scenarios are run by the powerusers and users. Once the UAT is signed, this is go ahead for PRD server preparation and PRD system is created and all the requests are checked, thus initiating the FINAL PREPARATION phase.
Here whole server is configured with all the master data getting uploaded. and finally comes the GO LIVE, where users start working on the new system and after that support which usually lasts for month, or2months depending on client.
