How to create a Transition Plan for your organisation

Visio Transition Plan Template - manage your cultural change

A Transition Plan is used to manage the change from an existing organisational configuration to a new configuration.

So – your organisation may need to go through a Transition to implement the new arrangement.

We have created this Transition Plan Template in response to a series of requests for a Timeline template to assist with Change Management.

This Transition Plan Template will assist you with your Transition Timeline

We have arranged this template into the following areas.

Team and Personnel Changes

It’s likely that you will have to change how people and teams are arranged.

New processes

There could be some business process re-engineering to be rolled-out.

Relocation

You may have to move locations, or start an off-shore supplier relationship.

How to plan the Transition

In all change situations, there is a gap between the planned new arrangement and where you are right now – a Transition is required.

Our Transition Plan Template will provide a solid communications and planning tool for your transition.

Features of this Template

  1. Timeline with draggable milestones.
  2. Event markers in each workstream.
  3. Management workstream (to show coordination activities in the transition project).
  4. Communications Workstream (announcements, comms).
  5. HR Workstream (transition HR issues management).
  6. Relocation Workstream.
  7. IT Workstream (PC and telecomms).

Why Visio Roadmaps are the best way to communicate plans – clear, concise, and workstream-based… Leave your Gantt at home!

Here it is – the Visio Roadmap Template.

Due to the popularity of our roadmap templates, we’ve also added a scenario: “Creating your project roadmap

Roadmaps are fast becoming the preferred way for project, programme and portfolio managers to communicate project plans.

Why are Visio Roadmaps the best way to communicate plans?

This is because Visio Roadmaps provide:

  1. At-a-glance understanding of plans
  2. A sense of capacity
  3. A clear indication of allocation of project capacity
  4. A sense of priority
  5. A clear deliniation of workstreams
  6. Clear indication of dates and milestones

This is because Visio Roadmaps are a “1-pager”

  1. You have the plan, on 1 page, without complicated Gantt formatting
  2. Your stakeholders can hand them around
  3. Your stakeholders can talk around them, easily
