Case Study: Lynn University achieves on-schedule full-suite deployment and minimal post-go-live issues with Workday Adaptive Planning

Lynn University deploys new technology easily and on schedule

Lynn University, a private university in Boca Raton with about 3,000 students and 700 employees, ran into a resource gap midway through its Workday deployment: its small IT team was already stretched thin and could not handle end-to-end testing without risking delays to the project.

By engaging the Workday Test Lead Service to manage integrations and testing, Lynn was able to repurpose IT staff, complete test scenarios ahead of schedule, and run focused workshops by department. The result was an 11‑month full‑suite deployment with 50+ defects identified and resolved during testing, 95% of testing completed in the planned E2E window, accelerated feature adoption, and few issues post go‑live.
