| Activity | Description | Signoff | Tools & Templates |
| Determine Code Version Control Method | Include what tools will be used and address any setup requirements (e.g., privileges, project setup, etc.) for code version control. The plan should also address version control for the ongoing maintenance and support of the developed code. | ||
| Develop & Review Content | Ensure that all customer-facing output conforms to StorageTek standards and has been reviewed by the business area and approved by StorageTek Legal (if needed) before implementation so that the product aligns with the consistent and professional StorageTek branded image as well as business area strategies and direction. | StorageTek Legal (when required) |
|
| Develop Product | Involves technical construction of the identified product, including data conversion, system code, releases, installations, interfaces, reports, user interfaces, and supporting documentation. | ||
| Conduct Unit Test | This activity includes development of unit test cases, unit test design, execution, capturing and analysis of results, rework to fix defects and retest. Components include application changes and any new functionality, interfaces and data conversion. Other components are hardware and software installs, database setup, security access. | Unit Test Plan | |
| Perform Unit Test Code Reviews | This activity involves the review of project-delivered products by team members and technical experts to validate that code is documented, efficient, accurate and supportable. Unit Test Code Reviews identify defects in project deliverables early in the project's system life cycle. The earlier defects are identified, the less costly it is to take corrective action. | Code Review Checklist (R) Meeting Minutes (R) |
|
| Conduct Functional & User Acceptance Tests | Ensures that the application's functional requirements have been met and that the application works end-to-end so that the product is ready for release testing. | Business Users Project Manager |
Functional Test Checklist Functional Test Plan |
| Conduct Performance Tests | Test the products in the environment so that any issues can be addressed prior to moving the products to the production environment to ensure the products meet the performance requirements. | Performance Test Request | |
| Revise Business Processes | Update the business processes impacted by the products so that business users will know how the products interact with their processes. | Business Process Owner | |
| Develop Training & User Documentation | This activity involves the creation of documentation and presentations needed to train business users to effectively understand and use the products and changed business processes. | ||
| Develop Maintenance & Support Turnover Documentation | Develop system documentation per the maintenance and support turnover plan to ensure a smooth transition to the support teams and properly documented procedures for application disaster recovery. | Application Disaster Recovery Process (R) WORP Process |
|
| Develop Business Rollout Plan | This activity includes brainstorming, documenting, scheduling and assigning all tasks which need to be complete for a successful product launch with the business users. This activity is coordinated by the project manager but must be directed by the business lead to ensure the business needs are addressed. It is important to note that there are times when multiple business rollout plans will be required, for example, when a product is being deployed to one region at a time. | Business Rollout Plan | |
| Develop Technical Implementation Plan | Involves brainstorming, documenting, scheduling and assigning tasks needed to implement the project deliverables into the production environment. In some cases, where technical implementation is required in multiple locations, the plan will contain an iterative implementation schedule. This task also includes completing the GIS production change control process at least two weeks prior to implementation. | Technical Implementation Plan |
