With a Winmill PPM QuickStart, we start with a small group of users, typically one department. Using as much out-of-the-box functionality as possible and our deep store of best practices, we get clients successfully using  Planview or Clarity  in just 6-12 weeks! Our QuickStart is a first phase focused on quick wins and user adoption.  
 
We kickoff the QuickStart onsite with 3-5 days of joint architecture and design (JAD) sessions, where we determine the client’s detailed requirements. We write up our findings and present them in a configuration design document. Once approved we do the configurations, build custom reports and workflows (if in scope), and do system testing. We provide train-the-trainer sessions and turn the configured environment over for UAT. We make minor adjustments as needed, and then deploy to production. A QuickStart may include train-the trainer and/or end-user training. We can deliver a QuickStart Implementation in 6-12 weeks, and most clients see it as a fast way to get ROI before moving on to additional functional or organizational rollouts in Phase 2.
