Configuration Scope

• Scope describes what we will and will not include as part of the project
• Which employee groups in the organization will be addressed as part of the project

• Which WorkForce features will be configured

• What WorkForce functionality will be included

• How many variations of each feature/function will be set up

• Which WorkForce functionality will NOT be configured or included in the project

• Staying in scope is very important to the success of the project. Everyone


plays a part.

Core Functionality & the requirements Workshop

• Pre-populate the Base Product Questionnaire with details from the


Discovery Document and SOW

• Day 1 - Core Functionality training


OR

• Day 1 - Employee, Manager, and Administrator Functions training

• Day 2 - Train the customer on the Requirement documents

Stay within scope of the SOW

Lesson 18: Confirm Phase - Solution Design

Copyright © 2019 WorkForce Software, LLC


Solution Design Sessions

• Identify areas where BRD content is sufficient to describe the solution

• Find functional extensions to meet requirements

• Focus effort on customer-specific business rules

• Identify out of scope items


• Must-have items will require a PCO and will have an impact on the cost

Some requirements may require solutions outside of WorkForce -


Manual workarounds may be required

• Customers are required to take and complete the CT120 – WT&A Database Schema Essentials training course in
order to gain access
• Once complete, a support ticket is logged to request access
• Refer to the “WorkForce Required Policies and Best Practices” document in the partner community for more

Requirements

4. Models 5. Customer Specific Requirements


• When standard and model functionality cannot meet
• Models are pre-built components for specific
the customer requirements, the customer may require
processes or calculations customer-specific configuration
• Use models to expand the base product functionality
• Depending on the number of customer-specific
and meet the customer requirements
requirements, additional workshops, onsite or remote,
• Some models may have been identified during the may be needed
sales process, others at the requirements workshop
• Once gathered, the requirement (not the solution) is
• Every model has Functional Description document detailed in the Base Product Usage Extensions
• The customer’s model selections are collated in the Requirements spreadsheet
customers Extension Options document
• The Base Product Usage Extensions Requirements
spreadsheet will only reference the model that has
been selected

• Tell them narrative rich in emotion https://hbr.org/2013/06/how-to-give-a-killer-presentation

• Chunk the material

• Try to introduce one new topic at a time

• Check for understanding

• Ask the learners to share

The brain’s attentional “spotlight” can focus on only one thing at a time.
• No multitasking

• Use proximity

Important Questions to Ask on Your Terminal Project

• How many terminals does the customer want to use


for UAT testing?
• Has the customer begun identifying the number of
PoE vs non-PoE terminals required for each site?
• When determining when hardware needs to arrive
at sites, how long should we plan for the customer
to get terminals physically installed?
• Will the customer want to complete biometric
enrollment prior to Go-Live?
• Will all terminals go live at the same time, or will
this be a phased go live? Copyright © 2019 WorkForce Software, LLC
Base vs. Configured Terminal

terminals Administrator
• The Enroller role does not require Clock Manager
• The terminal Administrator role can be given to people
