Creating a Game Plan
Review origin and destination floor plans – The new space allowed for better organization of departments, so users who were previously seated together were dispersed throughout the new office. Therefore, clear and detailed documentation was needed to ensure each station was relocated to the correct cubicle.
Audit – An initial audit was done to determine what peripheral devices were included with each workstation and the preferred orientation of each user to ensure a smooth and seamless transition for employees. A server audit of both locations was also performed to determine what equipment would remain in production or be decommissioned from the environment.
Weekly Conference Calls – Weekly calls with the CTRL+V project management team were scheduled to keep all parties up to date on the progress of facility readiness, scheduling, device procurement, issues, and changes.
Risk Assessment – All possible risks were assessed and assigned multiple ratings based on likeness, level of impact, and cost. A risk response plan covering all contingencies and mitigation strategies was presented to the client.
