Validation & Rollout for Digital Transformations | Webinar 07

Is your PLM validation feeling like a frantic race against a fixed go-live date? In this session, Thomas, and Cristina strip away the "check-the-box" mentality to discuss why deployments often fall short and how to transform validation from a technical hurdle into a powerful driver of user adoption. This webinar provides a structured 6-step roadmap for validation and practical strategies for managing the "human side" of rollouts, ensuring your system isn't just technically functional, but business-ready for long-term success. [12:03] – Why Deployments Fail: Identifying the most frequent pain points, including the "compressed timeframes" that starve validation of resources and the tendency to focus on technical code while ignoring real-world business practice. [16:22] – The 6-Step Validation Process: A deep dive into the Share PLM approach: Strategy & Planning, Testing Framework, Communication, Preparation, Execution, and Training & Go-Live. [22:53] – The Necessity of a Testing Strategy: Why clear roles, responsibilities, and success criteria must be defined and communicated early to avoid noise, mistakes, and misunderstandings during the high-pressure execution phase. [31:12] – Testing Tools & Environments: Actionable advice on moving beyond Excel to dedicated tracking tools that offer traceability, and the vital importance of a UAT environment that mirrors production data. [40:34] – Pre-Execution Bottlenecks: How to navigate common "stalls" like missing test data, unclear test scripts, and the psychological shift required to prepare users for their first hands-on contact with the system. [43:34] – Managing Execution & Defect Surprises: Strategies for handling the unpredictable nature of defect management and tips for securing a business sign-off by aligning on "good enough" KPIs before panic sets in. [51:49] – Rollout & Training Best Practices: Moving beyond simple PowerPoints to hybrid learning styles, involving self-paced e-learning and teacher-led sessions to build user confidence. [57:25] – Expert Q&A: Answering audience questions on motivating business teams to perform regression testing and the importance of proving system quality to end-users. Key Takeaways: Strategy is the "Secret Sauce" : Validation fails when expectations aren't managed. You must define what "success" looks like—and who is responsible for it—before the first test begins. The 6-Step Framework: Successful rollouts require a disciplined flow from strategy to training. Rushing the preparation phase is the most common root cause of project chaos. Involvement Equals Adoption: Treat testing as a training opportunity. Involving business users early turns validation into a learning phase, ensuring they feel ownership of the new way of working
