Our Approach

Point Analytics knows the importance of effective project management and as a result we have developed our best practice methodology based on our experience with implementation projects. 

A combination of our background and the strength of both the Anaplan and GoodData technology allows for an adaptable and iterative approach that aligns with the Point Analytics Four D’s approach – Define, Design, Develop and Deploy. Our unique and proven methodology allows us to deliver a solution that you want within budget and on-time, while also mentoring key staff at all stages to ensure seamless integration and important transfer of knowledge.

Define

Dedication, commitment, and flexibility are important traits of a good project management team, but for a team to succeed the requirements gathering process needs to be accurate and targeted. Point Analytics brings both business and technical expertise that will provide clarity to your project and allow for clear and concisely documented objectives and scope. We understand to achieve success in a project the requirements gathering process needs to be communicated and understandable to all stakeholders. Our Define stage will deliver the critical success factors to the development of the project scope, schedule and training plan and ensure the project is delivered on-time and within budget.  We also recognise the need for strong project management tools that can assist in communicating project progress to all stakeholders and provide our project plan and progress in the cloud solution Mavenlink Project Management software.

Design

We know the best time to influence a project’s design is early in its life cycle so we are already thinking about the design of your solution during the define stage. By combining our skills and background with your business requirements we can design the best solution for your organisation. Point Analytics evaluation and documentation of your design will provide a clear and concise base for the development process to begin.

Develop

The beauty of Anaplan and GoodData is that we can build quick prototypes to unlock the platforms potential and to gain business user acceptance early in the project. This also allows us to include all stakeholders and target key information pain points to deliver an effective solution for your business. The results driven close integration with define, design and develop stages allow for shorter lead times, more engagement with the business user and ultimately a greater ROI. By leveraging off the Anaplan and GoodData technology we can build an end to end planning, analytics, reporting and dashboard model for your entire organization.

Deploy

By incorporating our knowledge and the capability of the Anaplan and GoodData platforms we can manage and deliver your projects within budget and on time.  A successfully deployed project includes the implementation and communication of a training plan, application rollout and ongoing operational support. Our success is built around knowing that you are only as good as your last project, therefore we ensure we deliver what your business needs.
