- How the planning service works

We work closely with our clients to conduct an in-depth discovery process at the outset of all of our G-Cloud projects. This enables us to develop a comprehensive understanding of requirements which enables us to plan the delivery of the optimum solution.
With extensive expertise in a wide range of delivery methodologies, we approach planning using industry standard and codified best practice standards, combined with real world expertise and insight. This enables us to produce a bespoke plan that is highly aligned to requirements that will ensure that delivery is achieved within the correct timescales.
The planning process also enables us to work collaboratively in multi-supplier environments by creating a transparent roadmap for delivery, where roles and responsibilities are clearly defined to develop a “one-team” ethos. - Planning service works with specific services

A key benefit of working with us is that we are committed to ensuring that client staff are continually trained and upskilled, enabling them to reduce their dependency on external support.
We achieve this through a rigorous Knowledge Transfer Programme that includes:

• Guided Experience: The user performs the work whilst being supervised by our experts
• Community of Practice: We establish groups that learn together and share knowledge and information between themselves in regular forum meetings to accelerate learning
• Training: One-to-one or classroom based training to disseminate technical or discipline related information. These can be formal or informal sessions such as our Lunch & Learn (“brown-bag”) sessions

Our key goals are to manage the setup or migration with minimal business disruption and complete continuity of service. This is achieved through the implementation of structured, fully planned setup and migration processes conducted by highly qualified migration experts with delivery experience across hundreds of successful projects.
