Solution blueprint review participants
The Solution blueprint review is an excellent chance to establish a baseline for the core project team on the overall solution. Having the broader team present in the workshop can be a helpful way to provide context to the team. In some cases, due to the size of the implementation team, it might be necessary to limit the participation in the workshop to only core members of the implementation team. With that in mind, you should consider the following guidelines:
- The workshop should be attended by representatives from the customer organization and the partner organization that is assisting with the implementation. Part of the review’s value is providing common information for the solution across all involved parties.
- The workshop should include the project manager and solution architects from the customer and the partner organization. If the customer doesn’t have a solution architect role in their organization, then the responsible technical stakeholder(s) should be involved. If the partner organization doesn’t have a designated solution architect who is responsible for the implementation, then the equivalent delivery lead, functional lead, or technical architects should be involved.
- In some cases, it might be necessary to bring specific resources for specific topics, which can be accommodated based on the breakdown of the solution in the workshop agenda.
The Solution blueprint review is an excellent opportunity to provide essential information about the solution to the team. Occasionally, this review can benefit executive stakeholders as well, but you should be aware that the discussions in the workshop can be comprehensive in some areas and technically detailed in others. You should set expectations from the beginning that the types of conversations in the workshop might be at a lower level of detail than some executives might want to consume.
