Implementing Hyperion Financial Management in 90 Days
Can it be done; absolutely! However, to meet this timeline you won’t get ‘everything under the sun’ and you’ll have to strong change control to stick with the plan. I know what you’re thinking, “sounds too good to be true”. Right? Maybe not. Think about building a house in 90 days. Can it be done? Yep, I’ve done it (minus the foundation).
But it required a pretty specific plan and we had to stick to the plan even though we knew we wouldn’t be looking at the end product in 90 days. In it’s basic form we had i. a plan with critical milestones and ii. what I’m calling “building blocks” (i.e., framing, plumbing, electrical etc). We had to make sure that each of the building blocks was fully defined ahead of time (i.e., framed walls went here and not over there) and mapped out on the timeline to fit it in the 90 day window. Since I was the one managing the workplan I actually ended up switching the tasks around and going against the traditional order followed in construction.
