Functional EAM
Project Planning Process.
DigitalThinker uses the Structured Agile (Hybrid) Project Management Methodology. This is a combination of Waterfall for initial requirements gathering and agile for project execution. It is critical to invest time upfront in the project lifecycle to identify a vision of the final product, understand existing assets and infrastructure, and develop an overall plan.
From years of successful projects with Hexagon EAM, we have created a methodology framework to help guide you through your implementation. We tie your Hexagon EAM system to your operating strategy which generates true ROI. Execution of the plan is typically performed in week long sprints, with status and progress checkpoints at the conclusion of each sprint.
