Intro
Watch out, everyone – Christmas came early! Under my tree in May, I found a 693-page Dummy’s Guide to Implementing D365 – something Microsoft named the Success by Design Implementation Guide. Based on the experience of Microsoft’s FastTrack team in over 100 projects, this guide breaks down frequent problems, realistic resolutions, and case studies in each chapter. While previous documentation from Microsoft could be a little pie-in-the-sky, this book is clearly rooted in reality and troves of experience.
The guide’s contents will likely sound familiar to those who have implemented with our teams here at sa.global- its focus is to fail fast by uncovering requirements early, creating a comprehensive Solution Blueprint before any proofs of concept or design begins, and focuses a lot on the “people” side of deployments, with chapters focusing on project governance and change management. There are also chapters on Application Lifecycle Management (ALM), data architecting, maintenance and storage, and security.
If you are just beginning your journey into Microsoft’s business applications or have been in the industry for over a decade, this guide will provide talking points and food-for-thought as you adapt to the ever-changing business/technology landscape.
You can find the PDF version here.
Happy reading,
