The shared objective is to onboard users on time and on budget. It suggests replicating the SME project process for large project deliveries, and organizing teams to build a toolbox of methods with more to come.

Editor's Notes
- Odoo logo centered w/ tagline
- Our methodology has proven that it works ! We deploy 700 customer projects every year. And we established this methodology couple of years ago Based on some past experiences, we thaught we had to change the way to handle big corporate projects. We started from the statement: If it works for SMEs, it should work in larger companies ! We used to follow the way the client wanted to manage the project. It was hard for us and impossible to have something scalable. We looked at how we were working at Odoo and decide to apply one single methodology for any kind of projects.
- Same methodo: Good SPOC Required A good SPOC can make the difference between failure and success. Important to find ambassador within the company to promote the project and Odoo internally. Challenge requests Even if budget seems to not be a hard constraint we must challenge requests and find solutions with Odoo Standard. Stay standard Challenge now to avoid mistake later ! Phasing Stick to the initial planning and focus on must have ! Keep the opportunity to drop developments after a first go live. Avoid the big bang approach ! Much more risky and complex to handle in terms of change management, after go live stabilisation, etc. Different focus: More rigidity Political dimension Slower decision making Due to their sizes, Larger companies tend to be less flat and require to involve more people to make decisions. It is important to keep that in mind when making planning and workshops.
- Quick recap of the methodology ROI Analysis - Get the project big picture / set up mindset & methodology / align visions Project initiation - Kickoff call - Get everyone ready for the implementation Project implementation Each cycle = 1 phase Go step by step Project deployment No big bang
- Respect the agreed planning and budget Deliver fast, keep a good momentum. Keep people involved, avoid tunnel effect.
- Our objective was to reproduce what we have achieved on the SME market to the corporate market!
- Dedicated sales team Dedicated pre sales team Dedicated project management teams
- On top of internal organization, we also slightly adapt the way we build project team. We kept the same structure as every project but we added another layer (Project Director) to handle the politics and deal with the steering committee members and managers; We keep the same people Once a project requires it, more people might involved. Must be: Business advisor => work with the steering comity & the delivery team Steering commitee => Project director + SPOC + Sponsor => They do not handle the delivery but ensure that things are moving in the right direction Delivery team: Project leaders & developer + Key users Apps expert: punctual intervention => We deliver for the end users
- Facilitate the onboarding of new consultants Set up the framework for large projects
