A multisite project is more creating a product than a project
In this session, we’ll explore why a multisite BC rollout is not just a project, but in many ways a product development effort, especially in the early stages. You’ll learn how the initial phase of harmonizing processes, stabilizing requirements, and building reusable components resembles the lifecycle of a software product far more than that of a classic IT project.
We'll discuss:
- The critical shift in mindset required from project teams and stakeholders
- Why a "template-first" approach is essential for scalability
- Lessons learned from large international rollouts
- How to balance standardization with local flexibility
If you are involved in international BC implementations — whether as a consultant, project manager, or internal stakeholder — this session will help you rethink your approach and build BC solutions that scale effectively across the enterprise.
