How long does it take to implement Prompt?

Organisational change management takes time, but we are ready to work at your pace. We often understand organisations are already busy with day-to-day responsibilities, so we work with you to implement Prompt on your timeline.

Plan

Implementing Prompt into your organisation requires some initial planning. The below information is to assist you with change management planning and defining your internal document workflow.

A strong change management plan can support implementing effective change, helping people to adapt, transition, and transform goals, processes, and technologies.

Below is an example of a change management plan for your consideration.

Activity

Actions Required

Project activities and milestones

A strong project plan or Gantt chart are great tools to help define your organisation's Prompt goals and objectives, this will help you identify what resources will be needed, and describe the work required for this project.

A Gantt chart is a type of bar chart that illustrates a project schedule.

Procedures documented

Flowcharts or Document Framework Diagrams, will help you understand your current process for document workflow and management inside your organisation and can support decision-making and timeline expectations.

Considerations:

  • What approval processes do you have in place? Who are the approvers? At what stage of the document workflow are approvals required?
  • Who authors the documents? Do authors vary by document type, or area of the organisation?
  • What is your organisational structure? Does this align to your approval process?
  • What is your document review process and timeline?
  • Do users need to fill in forms to have a policy, procedure, or guideline developed/changed/deleted? What information is captured in this form?
  • Do you have document templates?

The great thing about Prompt is that it allows you to define unique and strong document governance and workflow.

The best place to start is to look at your current workflow and practice for document creation storage and access and then understand our Prompt terms and definitions, user legend permissions, and features to map out your departments, sections, users, and roles and permissions. Once you have the information together, we can help you map out how that might look within Prompt.

We recommend the use of docx, xlsx, and pptx within Prompt.
Stakeholder list

Develop a stakeholder list, and define who within your organisation will play a part in goals and objectives during Prompt implementation. This could be working out who is accountable for configuring the organisation structure, who is responsible at the highest level of the organisation, department, or section, and who are the executive or administration level roles within Prompt.

Communication strategy

Driving employee awareness and engagement about Prompt will be crucial to a successful implementation. Think about how your organisation will inspire new ways of working using the prompt system.

  • Email updates to your team
  • Workshops
  • Internal media
Training plan

Create a group of early learners, who can champion Prompt.

  • Develop a training strategy and work with us to create training materials.
  • Develop a training timeline and plan.
Reporting

What progress reporting is required?

Feedback

Collate internal feedback during the implementation process.

Testing

Prompt will provide your organisation with a user acceptance site (UAT) which is a demonstration site based on your system preferences.

To set up the test site, please complete this configuration form. Once submitted, a member of the Prompt team will configure your test site accordingly. Tips and help articles are available throughout the configuration form to assist you with completing the form.

If you would like support completing the configuration form contact us and we are more than happy to guide you through the form process.

Prompt Terms and Definitions

Training

User Acceptance testing, often referred to as UAT, is application testing or end user training. This can also be described as staging or demonstration.

UAT is a phase of software development in which the software is tested in the real world by its intended audience, and in this case, your organisation will be provided with a UAT site.

This testing site is what will most closely resemble your Prompt site and this 'real world" testing. This is your best chance to see the Prompt system in action and refine your preferences.

Your user acceptance testing phase is all about you, and your organisations requirements. This is the space where your early learners can form a close relationship with the platform and refine your unique internal workflows.

In UAT your main focus should be to test that the system is fit for use within your specific user context, making sure the system can support your needs in your real-world organisation.

UAT is a safe space for training testing and making mistakes, demonstration sites allow your early learners to get close to the product without risk or impact.

There are many different examples and ways of testing your system, you can simply jump in and start using or create a formal document.

Once testing is underway this is often a good time to document the steps for the organisation, allowing you to easily train and support others in their learning journey.

There is no set time limit for user acceptance testing, your organisation can define what the timeline looks like.

Once your UAT site is up and running we will contact you to arrange training session(s) with the organisations Prompt Admin(s) and project team to ensure you feel confident and happy to train end-users within your organisation.

The demonstration site lets you get familiar with the Prompt system and test your document workflows. In addition to the training sessions, you can access all training materials via the knowledge base and some editable training materials are available in Prompt as well!

There are many different examples and ways of testing your system, you can simply jump in and start using or create a formal document, below is an example of a basic testing document. Speak with your Prompt specialist to find out how we can support you on your testing journey.
