Lessons learned: how we are succeeding with Amdocs OSS for LTE
> Project approach:
You must have onsite Amdocs presence
> Management Attention:
Presentation of VFD2 business objectives to Amdocs management at start of project was a
good vehicle to reconfirm the importance of this project and secure Amdocs management
attention
> Project Iteration Planning
Find the right balance between rigorous design document signoff vs flexibility in the
p e e tat o
implementation
Ensure visibility to future iterations and manage design implications at an early stage
