Organise the e-commerce migration in an agile way
Successful shop relaunch without project horror – how to transform your e-commerce efficiently and value-oriented as a project manager.
Managing communication and stakeholders properly
The fundamental rethinking on the technology side of e-commerce – away from monolithic complete systems to modular composable commerce – corresponds to a paradigm shift in the implementation of migration projects. Where rigid project plans and the waterfall principle used to determine implementation, agile methods now enable complex projects to be divided into small, manageable work packages and prioritised according to their individual value contribution. Communication, requirements and stakeholder management are particularly critical to success in agile migration projects and must be managed professionally. Project managers need special skills to successfully organise the e-commerce migration according to agile principles.
Requirements analysis and documentation, communication and stakeholder management, automation during development and dynamic resource planning are just some of the challenges in agile migration projects where eCube supports its customers.
Agile project management in a non-agile environment
You need to develop in advance a rough sequence of the project steps to be carried out and have an idea of the completion date and the costs involved. This requirement spoils a clean agile approach for you, but it is not uncommon in practice. This may be because, for example, corporate goals need to be aligned with your project, investors are waiting for portfolio planning or simply dependencies on other companies or other projects need to be managed on the basis of your project planning.
Learn how to reconcile an agile approach and upfront project planning in this white paper.
Step by step to the Composable Commerce platform
No commerce system offers everything. Be it in terms of functionalities, be it in terms of the workflow in the backend or the possibilities offered for the respective customer journey. Whereas in the past monolithic systems were used whose requirements were simply adapted, the composable commerce approach shows a new strategy: the combination of the best solutions into a highly adaptable technology stack.
In the third part of our whitepaper series, we outline the process of technical implementation and migration to a Composable Commerce Architecture, give insights into possible project processes and tips for implementation.
If you are interested in a tangible step-by-step guide to replacing a rigid system with a modern front-end and composable commerce architecture, read this whitepaper.
