Frequently Asked Questions

What is a transition plan?

A transition plan is a structured document that captures how an organization, team, system or role will move from a current state to a future state. It covers transition objectives, steps, owners, timeline, risks, communication and success criteria.

What should a transition plan include?

A complete transition plan includes transition objectives, scope, current state, target state, transition steps and milestones, owners and roles, timeline, risk assessment and mitigations, communication plan, training plan and success criteria.

What are common types of transition plans?

Common types include role transition (employee leaving or moving), system transition (migrating to new technology), vendor transition (switching providers), organizational transition (restructure or M&A) and project transition (closing a project and handing operations to BAU teams).

How do you create a transition plan?

Start by defining the current state and the target state clearly. Identify the steps required to bridge the gap. Assign owners and timelines. Identify risks and plan mitigations. Build a communication and training plan. Get sign-off from stakeholders. Execute, monitor and adjust as you go.

What is the difference between a transition plan and a project plan?

A project plan covers an entire project from initiation to closure. A transition plan focuses specifically on moving from one state to another - which might be one phase of a larger project. Most major projects include a transition plan as a subsidiary document.
