Catapult’s Firm Foundation is a sure way to cut through the often confusing and/or frustrating process of identifying and translating your needs into an actionable game plan. By using a structured methodology based on years of experience, we can guide you through a formal process that:

• Defines key business objectives and high-level requirements for an application or process.
   
• Quickly builds a shared mindset among key stakeholders on those objectives and requirements.
   
• Accelerates the timeframe and reduces the cost of developing an implementation plan and estimate.

Firm Foundation provides your organization with the tools it needs to enact change and implement a successful, cost-effective project because it positions your organization to fully understand the business problem and solution needs before the project begins. Your key stakeholders are then able to make well-informed decisions about how to move forward with the project and develop a solution that will be a strategic asset for your organization.

Firm Foundation is a three-step process with key stakeholders:

Step One – Analysis:  First, we work with you to develop a solid understanding of your project's business context.

Step Two – Workshop:  In a Catapult-facilitated work session, key stakeholders establish a common understanding of business objectives and priorities, as well as the current and desired future states.

Step Three – Documentation and Planning:  At the end you’ll receive a written summary of the workshop findings including the project’s vision, scope and limitations, the business case, project plan and cost estimate. The entire process takes one to three weeks, depending on the project scope and stakeholder availability. Catapult will tailor the time and deliverables to meet your project’s objectives.
