CBA Consult Methodology: Phase 7: Deployment Post-Go-Live Support: Provide support to users and address any issues that arise.

Post-go-live support is a critical phase in the deployment of a new system. Here’s how to provide effective support to users and address any issues that arise:

  1. Establish a Support Team: o Create a dedicated team to handle post-go-live support. This team should be well-versed in the new system and ready to resolve issues.

  2. Communication Channels: o Set up multiple channels for users to report issues, such as a helpdesk, email, and an internal ticketing system.

  3. Documentation: o Provide comprehensive documentation, including FAQs, user manuals, and troubleshooting guides, to help users resolve common issues independently.

  4. Training Resources: o Offer additional training resources like video tutorials, webinars, and refresher courses for users who need more help.

  5. Issue Tracking: o Implement an issue tracking system to log, prioritize, and manage reported problems. This helps in ensuring that no issue is overlooked.

  6. Regular Updates: o Keep users informed about the status of their issues and the overall system performance through regular updates.

  7. Feedback Mechanism: o Encourage users to provide feedback on their support experience. This can help improve the support process.

  8. Performance Monitoring: o Continuously monitor the system’s performance to proactively identify and address potential issues.

  9. Review Meetings: o Hold regular review meetings with the support team to discuss recurring issues, user feedback, and potential system improvements.

  10. Escalation Procedures: o Have clear escalation procedures in place for critical issues that require immediate attention. By following these steps, you can ensure that users receive the help they need during the post-go-live phase, leading to a smoother transition and better user adoption of the new system.
