Planning and Designing the Application
then refine to avoid creating something that the client does not want. After the client is comfortable
with the rough dashboard prototype, progress to more polished reports that were created in Process
Reporting Services:
Over time, the number of reports will grow and drill-downs and multi-drill-downs will be defined. You
can create additional dashboard pages. Some reports can be moved from one page to another. This
process is the normal, iterative process of designing BAM dashboards.
Planning the Deployment
During the planning phase, make note of any aspects of the system that can change when the
application is transferred from the development environment to production. For example, databases
used by the application generally change when moving to the production environment. Users assigned
to specific activities can also be different in the production environment. It is important to compile a
complete inventory of these items to use during deployment.
Design Review
At the end of the design phase, the project manager can schedule a design review to validate the
design. This meeting can include architects and system experts who are not members of the solution
project in addition to EMC engineers to ensure the technical feasibility of the proposed solution. The
information gathered in the templates can be used as supporting materials to the solution design
presented to the client for signature. This process reinforces the design direction the team has taken
and justifies decisions made on the design. Following a successful design review with client sign-off,
the project can move into the implementation/development phase.
