    I had a look at it. Its very simialr to the methodology we already use for implementing systems.

    Not sure how much we will use SureStep as we already have the templates set up.

    Also the first release is a bit lacking in some areas, even they guys from MBS that showed it to us felt that, but they are hoping for more in later releases.

    i think that it's quite complex. a bit to complex.
    ok, i can understand that it should be useful for large projects on axapta and also for quick and dirty navision projects, but i think that is not gonna be good in neither case. at least not this version.
    it seems to me that it is the migration of on target methodology into office 2007 era, not a step forward.
    of course, i didn't expect a revolution, but in fact only the level of detail has increased and it has increased in a bad manner.
    i was talking last month with a guy from microsoft and i was telling him how eagerly i expect the release of this methodology and he admitted that something new is needed and that the old methodology had a lot of redundancy and not enough means to ensure the proper passing through of the requests from the analysis phase up to test scenarios.
    i will take a closer look at the toolkit, but unfortunately i do not find exactlly what i was looking for.

    to be more specific
    i do not understand how should i do the reference between the gap fit document and the functional requirements document.
    it should be some sort of gap id or something like that

    another question
    the business process document has a macro built in. what does this macro do? where is it documented? should i bring a VBA specialist in order to find out what should happen when you run that macro?
    hmmm

    As yet I haven't had to use any of the templates from the tool. We already have established templates for everthing I have had to do so far so theres not been a need.

    Maybe one day I'll get round to looking at the samples more closely.

    Hi All,

    I want to have this methodology document.
    I tried to download it from partnersource, but am unable to do so as I think my NSC is not under that service plan.

    Can any of you let me know from where can I get it downloaded?
    Regards,
