Plan ## A Phased Plan for Schools ### 1. Discover - Map admissions and fees and collections - Confirm data and reporting needs - Choose the platform ### 2. Configure - Set up admissions - Set up fees and collections - Build roles and approvals ### 3. Extend - Add staff and payroll - Add procurement and stores and parent communication - Connect parent communication apps Go-Live ## Phase 4 and Timing Phase 4, go live: migrate and reconcile students and guardians and fee structures, train each role and support the first weeks. Timing depends on scope, data quality and team availability, so we agree dates after discovery rather than promising a fixed duration.
