Validating those six points satisfies the AIM-first requirement and positions the core team to begin preparations. Note where AIM is located in Figure 1: at the very beginning. The AIM process starts before the implementation plan and carries through the entire initiative. As Figure 1 illustrates, a healthy CMMS implementation plan requires preparation, creating a blueprint and an implementation plan, carefully shepherding data transfer, system confirmation, and training to go-live and beyond to sustainment activities.

By spending the extra time aligning on mission and vision before beginning the implementation process, the team not only attracts buy-in but has a much better chance of sustaining that buy-in throughout the implementation process.
