Ecommerce Project Initiation – Discovery Phase
Once you’ve selected your ecommerce vendor and implementation partner, the hard work starts. Project initiation, sometimes called Discovery, for an ecommerce replatforming project turns your high-level scope and requirements into a detailed functional specification that drives development and delivery.
What does Discovery involve?
- A series of stakeholder workshops to agree low-level functional requirements, both technical and business.
- The review and agreement of core processes underlying ecommerce e.g. order management.
- The documentation of agreed requirements and processes in a suitable format for development teams.
- The review, approval and sign-off of documentation by senior stakeholders with decision-making authority.
