The challenge

The client’s goals were to improve efficiency and increase teamwork throughout the product development process. The client expressed desire to manage the process in-house once the mapping process was completed. As a result, the client asked Aciron to provide training and support services to the firm. This training would enable the firm to internally manage the customized platform and eventually utilize it to its fullest potential.

Our approach

First, Aciron conducted on-site requirements validation sessions with key project stakeholders. During these sessions, both parties discussed, analyzed, and documented the requirements for the Microsoft SharePoint Online system.

Secondly, Aciron developed storyboard and process flow diagrams based on the results of the requirement validation stage. These documents provided the layout and functionality of the system to show the client how the system would look and function. The client was able to provide feedback to make any changes before the development stage to ensure that the customized SharePoint platform would meet the client's needs.

Following an agile development approach, Aciron moved on to the configuration, customization, and implementation of the Microsoft SharePoint Online system. Once installed, Aciron conducted on-site Sharepoint training sessions for relevant client users. This ensured that end users possessed the knowledge and skills to successfully utilize the customized platform.

Solution

The user-friendly platform includes updated features, functionality and customization that allow the client to better manage the process as well as increased efficiency and timeliness of project completion.

The SharePoint Online platform, among its robust capabilities, included the following features:

Dynamic project tracking throughout project life-cycle from origin to end

Comprehensive document management features with the capability to upload, edit, and view document status in one secure location

Robust project management dashboard

Milestone tracking feature to document a project’s status through memorable points in the product development process.

Let's work together.
