The Communardo Approach
Project launch
Kick-off meeting: To ensure the smooth implementation of Confluence as a quality management tool within your organisation, we first analyse the current situation and the target state. During a kick-off meeting, we work together to develop the approach and plan the project implementation. Before the project begins, we recommend holding an exploration workshop to assess how we can align your existing processes with the new solution.
Provision
Once the project has been planned, we get straight down to implementing it. We set up the system and configure the application to meet your requirements. We also begin onboarding and training your process teams. This ensures that the finished solution can be put to use quickly.
Pilot phase
During the pilot phase, we hand over the system to an initial pilot team and carry out user acceptance tests together. The solution is then further optimised as part of a review and prepared for the upcoming roll-out. At the same time, during this phase, we begin training your future QMS administrators on the solution’s functionalities.
Roll-out
The pilot phase is followed by the roll-out and the associated hypercare phase. During this phase, the solution is migrated to the final production environment and made fully available to staff. To ensure a swift onboarding process, we compile the most important documents and materials and are on hand to answer any questions.
Operation
Once the project has been completed and handed over, the solution will go live. To ensure a long-term improvement process, we will work with you to evaluate the first six months following the roll-out and identify opportunities for further development.
