The document describes the Oracle A.I.M. (Application Implementation Methodology) which is an 11-phase project management methodology for implementing Oracle applications. It outlines the key processes and activities in each phase including business requirements definition, system design, data conversion, testing, user adoption and production migration. The goal of the methodology is to provide a proven approach and documentation templates to successfully manage Oracle implementation projects through their entire life cycle.
![Oracle A.I.M. Methodology Documentation and their uses
Oracle A.I.M. Methodology encompasses a project management methodology with
documentation templates that support the life cycle of an implementation. The life cycle
methodology and documentation template allows A.I.M. to be a very useful tool for managing
implementation projects successfully. This is a depiction of the
A.I.M. methodology life cycle:
Application Implementation Method is a proven approach for all the activities required to
implement oracle applications. There are eleven processes of implementation.
