option1-2Validation of the core processes
POCScene Selection Suggestions
- prioritize: high frequency use, Process Standard, Scenarios with the strongest user feedback
- typical scenario: Leave Approval, Reimbursement of expenses, Contract approval, account management
- complexity theory: Medium Complexity Best(Too simple to be effective, too complicatedPOClong period)
- data volume: intend50-100Real data for testing
Rapid setup of validation environments with the help of Abacus (in general3-5 days)
- Open a trial account on the low-code platform(May apply for extension of probationary period)
- build (esp. with simple materials)1-2Core forms and processes
- Configure base permissions and roles
- Importing test data
- Prepare demo scripts and operating manuals
Organize acceptance by key users and leaders
- attend5-10Hands-on with key users(Coverage of submitters, approver, searcher)

Common Risks and Responses to Project Implementation
exposures1: Frequent changes in requirements
risk level: your (honorific)
affect (usually adversely): Extended project cycle20-50%, increase costs30%+
✅ prescription:
- • Requirements must be frozen prior to project initiation, Confirmation of signatures by both parties
- • Establishment of change management process, Major changes require reassessment of duration and cost
- • Using Agile Development, Phased delivery, timely feedback
exposures2: user resistance
risk level: mid-to-high
affect (usually adversely): Low utilization after go-live, Discounting the effectiveness of the project
✅ prescription:
- • Involve key users at the start of the project, Communicate the value in advance
- • Phased delivery, Allow users to gradually adapt to the new system
- • furnish3More than one training session, Ensure user proficiency
exposures3: Loss of data migration
risk level: center
affect (usually adversely): Loss of historical data, Business continuity disruption
✅ prescription:
- • Original data must be backed up before migration, Retained until the end of the year.3months
- • batch migration, Pilot before full scale, Verify data integrity
- • Develop data rollback scenarios, Ensure recoverability in case of failure
exposures4: System integration failure
risk level: mid-to-low
affect (usually adversely): Some functions are not available, Requires manual replenishment
✅ prescription:
- • POCPhase must verify all integration interfaces are viable
- • Choose a Services provider with strong technical capabilities(numeracy technology)
- - intendPlan B: e.g. API integration failure, usabilityExcelImport Export Instead
