Implementation Plan Template: How It Works

In general this plan is developed during the Design Phase of the Software Development LifeCycle and updated during the Development Phase.

Use this Implementation Plan to define:

  • Goals – identify the high-level goals for this project and critical success factors.
  • Security – identify security requirements which must be addressed before and after the implementation.
  • Roles & Responsibilities – outline the key individuals involved in different phases of this activity. The more detail you provide here, the less misunderstandings or assumptions will arise when the project starts.
  • Tasks – describe the different tasks which must be accomplished to implement the new system.
  • Schedule – describe the schedule and/or sequence in which tasks which must be performed.
  • Resources – identify the software, hardware, equipment and other resources you need to perform these tasks. This will help the Project Manager estimate the cost of the project.
  • Requirements by Site – describe the different requirements for each site. In large projects, you may need to identify different tasks for different sites and schedule these accordingly.
