Frequently Asked Questions
How long should an enterprise implementation take?+
Most implementations take 6-12 weeks. Simple deployments (no data migration, standard integrations) can be done in 4 weeks. Complex implementations with custom integrations and large data migrations may take 16+ weeks. Break anything over 10 weeks into phases with interim deliverables.
Who should own the implementation plan?+
The PM or an implementation manager. Do not delegate this to the sales team. Sales closes the deal; PM and CS own the delivery. If your organization has a dedicated implementation team, they lead with PM support on product configuration decisions.
What if the customer keeps adding requirements after kickoff?+
Use the change request process in Section 7. Every addition gets assessed for timeline and cost impact. The customer can approve the change with adjusted timelines or reject it. Never absorb scope changes silently. This approach is covered in depth in the [Strategy Handbook](/strategy-guide).
How do I handle a customer who is unresponsive during implementation?+
Escalate in writing. Email the customer PM with specific blockers and deadlines. CC the executive sponsor after 5 business days of non-response. If the pattern continues, escalate internally to your VP of Sales to engage the customer's executive team. ---
