D365 – 252 Solution Blueprint review questions | Kurt Hatlevik

One of the most important aspects of Success By Design program is to ensure quality in the implementation process and to set the right expectations. One important setup in this process is the Microsoft Solution Blueprint Review workshop that can be offered to customers through extended FastTrack Engagement.

The Solution Blueprint Review workshop covers the following topics:

Program strategy
Application strategy
Data strategy
Integration strategy
Test strategy
Business process strategy
Security strategy
Application lifecycle management strategy
Environment and capacity strategy
Intelligence strategy

Solution architects, functional leads, and technical leads are required to attend these workshops. Key stakeholders from the customer and partner teams are recommended to attend.
