KEY ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Like most projects, CommCare projects require a team effort to be successful. Everyone must do their part. But what does a CommCare project team look like?
...
CommCare projects vary a lot -- in size, complexity, and geography -- but each one transitions through 4 major phases of implementation. Below are the 4 phases with some examples of what must be accomplished in each phase , though not everything is listed here.
Phase 1: Design and Preparation
- Complete Project Needs Assessment
- Design and scope application
- Determine who will fill each project role
Phase 2: Refinement and Iteration
- Build prototype application based on needs assessment and scoping
- Pilot with users to gather feedback
- Refine application based on user feedback
Phase 3: Training and Deployment
- Prepare all training materials and logistics
- Prepare phones and applications
- Train all users- mobile workers as well as those who will be using CommCareHQ
Phase 4: Maintenance and Monitoring
