 Implementation Methodology  All at once production  Flip the switch

 Preliminary Project Meeting  Implementation Team Training  Procedure Development and Revisions  Change, Transition, and Communication Plan  Data Population  Environment Upgrades  Material Test Template Updates  Customization Development  Interface Upgrade

 Revised Support Plan  Testing  Training Material Development  Training Classes  Production Placement  Post Production Activities

 Data Population  Spreadsheets (Lab)  Synchronization, Overlap, Completeness

 Material Test Templates  Grid View (Attributes vs. Syntax)  Numeric Field Template Status  Customizations  Test Results Tab (View Only Sample)  Code Tables  Large impact on LIMS Workflows (understanding)

 Testing  Don’t park car under tree in ice storm  Trainers, Key Lab Personnel

 Training ▪ Just In Time Training ▪ Trained 450 people ▪ 5 weeks

 Implementation Methodology  Appropriate in size  Used more webinars and conference calls
