Database Process Jumpstart 

This jumpstart focuses on the definining and implementing a database development and release process.  Unlike most of our other jumpstarts, this engagement targets a technology area (i.e.,d databases) which spans disciplines instead of a specific discipline.  Although details may vary for individual customers, this jumpstart typically includes:

  • Discovery on existing database environments and your needs
  • Mentoring on strategies for managing database environments including:
    • Database design as part of the development process
    • Managing and tracking change of reference data and schema
    • Support for isolated database development
    • Unit testing of database artifacts
    • Facilitating reviews and similar processes for database changes
    • Controlling and tracking changes into database environments
  • Mentoring and assistance migrating appropriate target databases into a version control
  • Mentoring and assistance in controlling access to your database environments
  • Implementation of automated database builds, deployment and regressions test into targeted database environments, as appropriate
  • Initial adoption training for affected roles
  • Go-Live support for initial adoption

About Jumpstarts

Jumpstarts are engagements desiged to help you adopt a specific discipline, select processes and/or tools.  For larger institutions, jumpstarts can help individual teams or pilot users with the desired adopton; for smaller organizations a jumpstart may be the basis for a full corporate implementation.  Although the specific contents of jumpstarts vary, most include some amount of: discovery, implemention, and training.  This may seem like a fair amount of work, but many individual jumpstarts can be completed within a few of days.

Jumpstarts are maleable and can be custom fit to your needs.  It is possible to engage Notion for a single targeted jumpstart, however most companies with recognize economy of scale by combining multiple Jumpstarts together or with other Notion training or services.  For more information on which jumpstarts are right for you, contact us for more information or to schedule an ALM workshop.
