Apparelmaster DevelopmentGood communication and buy-in from steering committee members, with regular teleconferences
Good collaboration between Concept and Strategic
Used JIRA for task management and visibility. Frequently updated so all parties can keep track progress
Incremental, rapid development. Strategic controlling priorities and responsible for pre-deployment testing and documentation
Separation of responsibility with Strategic managing the rollout totally and responsible for all communication with the sites so that issues could be consolidated into something specific to work on
Concept has some direct contact with where specific technical issues required it
