Phase 3: Global Go-Live

Complete & execute the support plan | How to

Principles of the Go-Live support strategy: A good support strategy
improves your users’ experience, speeds resolution of issues, and keeps
your project team focused on any critical challenges. Set up clear roles
and responsibilities, for example:

Level 1: Your Google Guides can provide local user support for basic
issues and simple questions.

Level 2: Your help desk can provide help for more complex issues
and troubleshooting.

Level 3: Your project team focuses on the critical technical issues.
For example, the project team can help if a certain group of users
didn’t have their data migrated.
