Methodology
The Early Skills Program is designed to empower young professionals in developing and implementing their first projects. To ensure a structured and successful approach, we have adopted the Microsoft Sure Step methodology, a proven framework for delivering projects effectively.
Why Microsoft Sure Step?
Microsoft Sure Step is a comprehensive, scalable, and standardized methodology that provides guidance, tools, and templates for project management. It ensures that each project follows a consistent process, reducing risks and enhancing the chances of success.
Key Stages in the Early Skills Program
1. Diagnostic
In this phase, participants identify the needs and scope of their project:
- Assess goals and objectives.
- Analyze challenges and opportunities.
- Define project vision and expected outcomes.
2. Analysis
This stage focuses on understanding the details of the project:
- Document requirements.
- Perform gap analysis.
- Create a solution blueprint.
3. Design
Participants draft a detailed plan for their project:
- Define workflows and processes.
- Develop prototypes or wireframes (if applicable).
- Prepare project documentation.
4. Development
At this stage, the project takes shape:
- Build the solution based on the design.
- Test components individually.
- Conduct regular reviews to ensure progress aligns with objectives.
5. Deployment
This phase involves implementing the project in the real world:
- Finalize testing and validation.
- Conduct training for stakeholders.
- Roll out the solution and monitor its early performance.
6. Operation
The final stage focuses on maintenance and continuous improvement:
- Monitor project performance.
- Address post-implementation issues.
- Identify lessons learned for future projects.
