Planning

• Planning service: Yes
• How the planning service works: To build detailed knowledge of the context and domain for any project, an initial phase of planning, definition and knowledge transfer will generally take place at the start of an engagement, we call this as Discovery phase. This discovery phase brings together key stakeholders – from business leaders to technical SME’s and users – to define project expectations and desired outcomes.; ; Through facilitated discussions and activities, we'll work with you to:; ; - Get Everyone on the Same Page: We'll make sure everyone understands the project's purpose and what achieving success looks like.; - Uncover Your Current State: We'll gain a clear picture of your existing processes, systems, and potential challenges.; - Map User Needs: We'll identify and prioritise the needs of those who'll be impacted by the project.; - Define Technical Considerations: We'll outline any technical limitations or opportunities relevant to the project scope.; - Develop a Prioritised Roadmap: We'll collaboratively create a clear plan that outlines key milestones and deliverables.; ; By the end of the Discovery phase, you'll have a shared vision for the project, a prioritised roadmap, and a deeper understanding of the journey ahead. ; ; This initial inception phase can be contracted separately if required.
• Planning service works with specific services: No

This phase includes detailed discussions on your existing setup, data security needs, and desired functionalities.; ; Post-discovery, we jointly design a custom setup and migration plan. We engage in open discussions to recommend migration strategies (such as lift-and-shift, refactoring) that best align with your requirements and risk tolerance.

We also develop detailed technical roadmaps to guide a secure and efficient migration.; ; We are committed to a transparent and participatory planning process.

This arrangement ensures seamless integration of development and ongoing management.; ; We recommend establishing a support plan, a service responsibility matrix, and appropriate service levels at the outset to meet the client’s specific needs. The development team is responsible for providing both second-tier (infrastructure-related, aligned with hosting support contracts) and third-tier (application-related) support during regular business hours, with the option for customized round-the-clock on-call support if necessary.; ; Our approach includes regular reviews of the service and performance against the agreed deliverables and timelines, as well as continuous monitoring of contractual performance against the established SLAs.
