Requirements and testing can be quite challenging. Neither needs to be overcomplicated or tedious. With the proper preparation, you can create solid requirements and test plans to ensure your HCM Implementation is successful. Let’s explore what that means.
A successful project starts with accurate requirements.
Gather all your policy documentation to get started and provide that upfront to your implementation team. Ensure you have the proper subject matter experts and they are ready to discuss requirements. Come prepared for your requirements gathering session with relevant information to discuss your organization’s needs and wants.
Who, What, When? What are all your inputs and outputs? What information comes into the HCM, what goes out, and to where? Who performs which daily/weekly/monthly functions? When do these actions need to be completed? Identify specific processes, like regulatory, legal requirements, and location-specific requirements. What kind of analytics, data and reports do you need? What issues have you been struggling with?
Being diligent upfront will pay off. Poorly defined or incomplete requirements will result in difficulties during testing and problems later. Once determined, the requirements are the basis for what you will validate (test) during implementation.
You defined it. Now test it!
As soon
