CommCare Projects take lots of different shapes and sizes. However, there are some key roles and practices that are associated with successful projects.

titleLearning Objectives

Implementating a CommCare project is an exciting and rewarding experience. It can also be a challenging one. So, it's important to prepare: build a solid team, understand the phases of implementation, and know where to access useful resources along the way. 

This unit will provide you with a brief overview of each of these areas. By the end of this unit, you will be able to:

      • Name and define the main roles in a CommCare project
      • Describe the main phases in the deployment of a CommCare project

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
