When implementing new software, an effective team manager should have a clear understanding of timeframe. Depending on the type of software, successful implementation can take more than a year to complete and involve a number of external departments throughout the process. Setting a realistic timeline, rather than an optimistic one, establishes reasonable expectations for all parties impacted.
Additionally, software implementation involves a considerable amount of data entry during the migration process. Having a plan of action early on to tackle data migration from a legacy system to a new solution will reduce errors and allow management to plan appropriate training. If possible, it is recommended to convert all data in advance to help end-users easily test the changes during training.
