Fluent OMS Project Phases

Typical Project Lifecycle

At a high level, a typical project lifecycle consists of discovery and solution design, implementation, testing and launch.  An example project timeline showing the different phases is shown below.

• Discovery is the initial phase of the project.  This phase involves gathering business requirements, generating the backlog, and updating project estimates and schedules.
• Implementation covers configuration, development and testing phases.
• System Integration Testing (SIT) is used to test individual integrations between systems (i.e. end-to-end).  Performance Testing is used to confirm the peak volumes for orders and inventory loads. 
• User Acceptance Testing (UAT) is where the business signs off on the end-to-end business scenarios and reporting. Typically, the client is onboarded just before UAT, so they can effectively use the web apps (Fluent OMS and Fluent Store) user interfaces during testing.
• Launch and 'go live' carry out the production deployment, data staging and validation testing phases of the project lifecycle
