  • Communicate the value/benefits of migrations and business process changes to the larger workforce throughout the program
  • Identify and describe the people, groups, departments, organizations, business processes, programs, and information technology (IT) systems/infrastructure that will serve as barriers to the change. Describe the ways in which these things will be a barrier to change
  • Include barriers and understand key stakeholders and how they will react to the migration in the key messages
  • Ensure all major stakeholders understand and buy in to the shared vision defined in Phase 0 and understand the role they play in the success of the initiative as outlined in the Project Business Case.
