Where can I get a system implementation checklist to validate the activities, obligations and deliverables from the vendor.

I'm trying to ensure vendor meets all levels of implementation for the client.

Wayne -

This is very dependent on the scope of the work and depends on the responsibilities for the vendor relative to the client.

The checklist must be specified according to the nature of work the vendor provides and isn't a general format.

I'm not sure whether you mean validation (is the solution complete?) or verification (does the solution meet the requirements?).

If you are trying to validate the vendor activities, determine which portions of your WBS align to the vendor contract. Now you have a multi-level list of required work that will serve as a checklist. If you are trying to verify that their work is done correctly, you can build a similar list from your requirements verification matrix.

Well, there's nothing like a universal systems implementation checklist.

What you are looking for would most likely be developed in conjunction with the client(business users), vendor and where applicable- a consultant with expertise on that particular systems implementation.

While I fully agree with comments about let me add please: if you do not put clear this before to contract the vendor then the level of risk you are getting is to high. Take into account that with deliverables you have to state all resource needed and time to get them but in both cases it will depends on the approach you will use to create the solution.

I believe this question has to do with Quality Control and Quality Assurance. As we don't know the specifics I would suggest that any vendor be required to provide their QC plan as it relates to the product being delivered including their validation process and copies of any monitoring during product delivery. On a critical product you may want to implement a QA program using internal resources or third party involvement.

I would hesitate to getting into the weeds with the vendor as there may be a temptation to interfere or direct which could result in taking on the vendor's delivery risk and compromise the contract.
