Workday Methodology Overview

All Workday deployments follow one Workday Methodology.  This proven, rapid methodology is based on years of experience deploying our products.

Stages

Workday’s methodology is based on key stages throughout a deployment. There are 4 stages with these key objectives:

Plan Stage

• Establish project management and administration based on agreed upon scope.

Configure Stage

• Collaborate with customers to complete configuration based on specifications gathered.

Test Stage

• Validate and test configuration decisions and ensure customer readiness.

Deploy Stage

• Move to Production, stabilize, and transition to customer ownership.

Key concepts that customers should understand about our deployments are the ability to focus on the additional benefits of deploying Workday, including:

• Faster time to value by quickly deploying an initial solution.
• Optimization of the existing solution through product updates and configuration, not customization.
• Adopting additional functionality of the solution after the initial deployment. 

The Post Go-Live Survey is a means to capture invaluable feedback from customer Executive Sponsors and Project Managers regarding their activation. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the your activation experience, enabling us to drive continuous improvements in both our teams' performance and the end-to-end activation process.
