Planning

Planning service
Yes
How the planning service works
Our Planning and Design phase aims at gathering customer requirements, stakeholder information and timescales; and documenting and assessing existing services and desirable features of the new replacement service.

We engage with you on the Commercial, Technical and Operational levels to help plan and design a solution that will fully integrate and result in a material benefit at all relevant levels.

It is typical that the project will contain independent and co-dependent components (work-packages) that can be designed and delivered in series or in parallel such as hosting, migration, testing, training, etc. The aim of this phase is to produce a mutually agreed Scope of Works document containing individual work packages that make up the entirety of the service which include for each work package the following:
- Implementation Timeline
- Project Plan, Milestones, Tasks
- Resources (Professional, Hardware, Software, Licenses, IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) Required
- High Level Design
- Low Level Design
- Design and Delivery Risks
- Training Requirements
- Warranties for Service

User and Operational Tests are pre-agreed scripts detailed in the Scope of Works document and carrying out those tests will be done by customer technical, operations and business representatives alongside Gaia Project Manager and Project Technical Lead.
Tests are classified into Core and Partial where a Core criteria reference a systematic component of the service without which the services fails to function. Partial operational criteria typically references a desirable functionality but will not impede the functionality of the system.
