This task is a step in Roadmap for Configuring a Siebel Application.
To develop an implementation plan
Perform a thorough business analysis that details the needs of your organization and users.
Get approval and commitments for time and resource from the relevant organizations.
Determine whether a predefined Siebel application can or cannot meet the needs of your users.
If a predefined Siebel application cannot meet the needs of your users, determine what business needs require modifications to the Siebel application.
Determine how you can assure success with your configured application.
Write design documents that include the following items:
The requirements that the configured application satisfies.
An entity relationship diagram (ERD) or text that describes the entity relationships. For more information, see Using the Entity Relationship Designer.
The names and descriptions of the business objects and business components that Siebel CRM requires, and how they relate to one another.
Screen flow diagrams and a list of fields that Siebel CRM displays on each applet.
(Conditional) How your implementation will use various Siebel technologies. For more information, see About Siebel Technologies That Configure Siebel CRM Behavior.
A description of your development environment and process. For example:
Describe how the work is divided among participating developers.
Describe naming formats the development team must use. For more information, see Guidelines for Naming an Object.
Describe how file versions for the physical user interface layer are controlled. For more information, see Developing a Plan to Control File Versions for the Physical User Interface Layer.
Describe how your organization will test and deploy Siebel CRM to users.
The complete stepwise procedures your development and test team must follow to complete Siebel CRM configuration.
For more information, see Developing a Configuration Strategy.
Make sure the participating organizations and users review and approve the design.
