Go-Live Drivers are a list of criteria, activities, and key milestones that must be achieved for a successful Workday HCM/Payroll implementation.
The Workday program, Business Process Offices, and governance groups, like the Workday Steering Committee, have agreed upon a list of drivers that the program will be measuring throughout the next year.
Go-Live Drivers are broken into several categories to include:
- Business process readiness
- Campus readiness
- Product readiness
- Security and internal controls
- Data access and critical reports
- Downstream and internal system integrations
- Deployment checklists and back-out plans
- Ongoing support structure and operations
Each category includes more granular and specific drivers that articulate what the implementation program and our stakeholders have determined to be our metrics for success.
Each driver is considered critical and contingencies and mitigation strategies are being created for each area.
