Transfer
Pass the solution on as a gift.
Now is the time to transfer the proven solution. Ensure that there is a motivated receiving party that will be responsible for implementing and operationalizing the solution.
This person is probably already part of the team or has played another active role during the process. Work with this person and other stakeholders to develop a plan for successful implementation and operationalization throughout the solution lifecycle.
Key question: Is there a next project owner and is there a plan for how to deploy the solution?
Checklist
- There is a new project owner who will take the solution further.
- It is clear what is needed to move the project forward.
- All necessary persons are on board for the transfer.
What happens in this phase
In the “Transfer” phase, the solution is transferred to a receiving party for implementation and operationalization. Important questions in this phase are: Is there a next project owner and is there a plan for implementation? To plan the transfer, the following canvases can be used: the Lean Business Canvas, the updated Stakeholder Canvas and the new Delivery Map. In short, this phase is about transferring the solution to the right person or party, and planning and preparing for a successful implementation and operationalization.
