preparations. Involve those
who will be affected.

Execute the plan and put the
changes in place in the new
area and begin use. Involve
those who will be affected.

process to ensure it is working
correctly. Note adjustments
that should be made.

Make any corrections found
while observing and rerun the
updated process.

the new with those who are

in the transfer) by the changes
made. Ensure alignment.
