Microsoft Dynamics Sure Step Methodology
What is Sure Step?
The Sure Step is a project methodology defined by Microsoft. The Microsoft Dynamics Sure Step is a comprehensive implementation methodology describing the processes and disciplines necessary to implement Microsoft Dynamics products. It is based on procedures and processes with a history of being best practice in many international and domestic software projects. Using Sure Step project runtimes, costs, and risks can be significantly reduced. Sure Step is associated with a continual optimization process. Processes are continually questioned and adapted to new requirements.
Project management is embedded throughout the entire Microsoft Dynamics Sure Step Methodology project life cycle. These project management best practices include vision and scope documents, project planning, and cost estimations that help prepare customers for projects and allow them to budget properly. Embedding project management capabilities into the implementation phases of the project life cycle differentiates the Sure Step Methodology from many other implementation methodologies in use today for Microsoft Dynamics or competitor solutions.
