Microsoft Success by Design in action: governance that protects go-live

How a delivery team applies the Microsoft FastTrack Success by Design framework as a set of reviews and gates that protect the go-live date.

← All thought leadership

CFO playbook For CFOs, steering committee members, programme managers

La réponse courte

Success by Design is a rhythm of reviews. Each phase has an entry gate, evidence and a decision, so a risk becomes visible when it is cheap to fix.

Stages

Phase gates from kickoff to live

1
Initiate Scope, success measures, governance and the delivery team are agreed and written down.
2
Implement Solution design is reviewed against Microsoft guidance before build starts.
3
Prepare Testing, data migration and cutover are rehearsed and reviewed.
4
Operate Go-live readiness is checked and the support model is in place.
5
Optimise Release waves and improvements are planned after go-live.

Kickoff Governance, scope and success measures signed.
Design gate Design reviewed with evidence.
Readiness gate Rehearsals complete, support ready.
Go-live and 90 days Hypercare ends with an agreed handover.

Principles we hold to

A gate needs evidence, not confidence.
A risk found in design costs a fraction of a risk found in testing.
The steering committee sees the same risk list as the team.
Go-live is a decision with a checklist.
