To ensure a smooth migration, SA Group’s Subject Matter Expert (SME) performed a thorough review of the project requirements, roles and remits of the initial stakeholders, prime contractor, international user community, programme team and a number of third party suppliers.
They then put in place the correct level of project governance to ensure that all elements of the migration were captured, scheduled, assessed and monitored. This provided the backbone of the project plan and allowed the technical roadmap to be progressed with minimum acceptable risk.
A comprehensive stakeholder management strategy included instigating regular meetings, developing a thorough transition plan and coordinating the technical side of the migration. SA Group’s team streamlined all migration activities and worked with the entire external supply chain so that all external dependencies were met, significantly reducing disruption to business as usual. The work also ensured that the technical refresh was seamlessly integrated into the MoD’s wider infrastructure.
The team then carried out test and acceptance assurance activities at the factory, onsite and with the User community, assuring both the National delivery and also the FVEYs partners capability integration. The process was carried out with strict compliance to international governance standards, ie the Combined Communications Electronic Board (CCEB).
