Scenario

A local graphic studio is based on the Apple platform. The new management is considering the change of the platform for Windows 7. The cost of maintenance, application and hardware support is indicating that the new platform could be more viable than the Apple.

Your tasks are:

Based on the organisational requirements, business strategy and project requirements develop an IT change management plan document.

• Research and develop change procedures and conventions. • Identify key personnel responsible for change management policies and procedures for the company, and those responsible for authorizing and implementing the change management plan. • Identify training needs of staff and management in relation to the changes that will take place. • Evaluate current IT system and determine changing user or business patterns. • Determine current benchmarks. • Compare the organisational needs against performance benchmarks to identify possible changes in the organisation. • Assess proposed changes to determine impact to the organisation.

Plan a schedule for the changes that will take place and include the schedule in the change management plan being documented.
• Prioritise the changes according to needs. • Allocate resources across the changes that will happen.

Implement the plan and obtain new performance benchmarks. Record data from the new performance benchmarks and compare against previous performance data to measure change performance. Update the training requirements of the staff as necessary in accordance with the new performance benchmarks.

Record, document and submit the results to appropriate person.

Produce required documentation. Attach zipped files produced as part of this project. Document the file structure and each file in individual document.

Instructions for trainer
