When it comes to implementing a complex system like CMiC, planning is everything. To ensure a successful implementation, it’s important to have a clear roadmap that outlines the steps to be taken and the timeline for each phase. One critical component of this roadmap is the CRP and data pass schedule.
CRP (Conference Room Pilot) is a testing phase that takes place before the actual implementation. It is a way for the project team to test and validate the system configuration and processes, identify gaps, and make necessary adjustments. Data passes are the practice of moving test data from one system environment to another, such as from the development environment to the testing environment. It is a way to ensure that the data is accurate and consistent across all environments.
So, how should the CRP and data pass schedule be structured? Each CRP should be spaced 60 days apart, and each data pass should also be spaced 60 days apart, with 30 days between each CRP and data pass. This means that every 30 days, there will be a major milestone, and each milestone must be met to ensure a successful implementation.
During each CRP and data pass, there are specific goals and outcomes that must be achieved. This ensures that the implementation is well-rehearsed and any issues are identified and addressed before the actual go-live date. These 30-day milestones are critical and cannot be missed.
With a proper CRP and data pass schedule, companies can avoid the risks of a rushed implementation and increase the chances of success. However, this requires expertise and experience in implementing CMiC. That’s where a consulting firm like ProTek Partners – Construction Technology Services comes in. We have the knowledge and expertise to guide companies through every step of the implementation process, from planning to go-live.
Spacing out each CRP and data pass by 60 days and having major milestones every 30 days is critical to the success of a CMiC implementation. Our team can help ensure that every step is executed flawlessly, resulting in a successful implementation that meets your company’s needs. Contact us for more information!
