		<description><![CDATA[One of the project managers of an ERP implementation company got himself into a tight corner. He found himself in a tough situation where an already ‘mutually sealed’ project scope asked for one or two new requirements (or changes in the existing functionality) from the client everyday while implementation. The broadly agreed upon requirements within the earmarked project modules came out with some changes here and there, some new add-ons. Customer is not ready to accept ‘no’ to any of the requirement since they have a mindset that they have ordered for a big project and are investing a large amount of money in it...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have seen different type of drivers on road: some drive very fast violating all rules and regulations to reach the destination. Can this attitude work in software development and delivery? I don’t think so, if the project manager is more worried about reaching the implementation stage without bothering about the customer requirements, probably he is calling for a big bunch of troubles...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Q-tag has to be on each of the stakeholder in a software project. When each and every person wears a Q-tag – the analysis, building, testing and implementation will be more justified. Otherwise there will always be a big question at the time of failure of a product build – that who is responsible?

		<description><![CDATA[At this stage he is supposed to discuss this plan with customer and get ‘in sync’ with him. Once approved from customer, he breaks this plan into different stages plans to hand over respective plans to their ‘stage owners’. Development plan goes to development manager. Quality plan goes to QC head. Implementation plan goes to implementation head (himself mostly). Accordingly each stage milestones are identified which might be more than overall project milestones shared with the customer. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The product owners or stakeholders might be many in a software project, but the real frontrunners who drive, run and use the software product post implementation are the key users and other users. It is their feedback that matters most. They must be the most comfortable lot on usability, functionality, reliability, stability, durability, resultant outputs in terms of reports and analytics, feel and look of the product. They are the one who are going to matter most in the success or failure of a product during and post implementation. The best tool to give them comfort, satisfaction, confidence and support is the User Manuals that they refer to most of the time during post implementation live run. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ideally, in a software project, for an offshore customer, the requirement gathering phase should be given an extra care to understand to a maximum extent so that the product developed and tested when ready for implementation at customer site requires no development. Practically, it is very difficult to achieve. The more it is left open to be handled at customer site, the higher is the chance of customer and vendor getting affected. ]]></description>
