The purpose of the user training and acceptance stage is to provide the users (audience) with an opportunity to test and formally accept the dashboard application prior to deployment. The tests should ensure that the dashboard application is functioning correctly, and that it provides the functionality agreed on in the specifications. The aim of training is to successfully implement the project deliverables in the production environment, with minimal disruption to existing services, and to roll out the new dashboard functionality to the planned user community. The project manager has overall responsibility for the successful rollout and must ensure that the required resources are in place to complete this final stage of the project.
