Use case · Transition and ramp plan

Turn the signed SOW
into a ninety-day plan

The paper already says what was sold, where, in how many languages and by when. AnyCRM writes the ninety days from it, assigns both sides, and finds the date that belongs to somebody who has not agreed to it.

  • Written from the signed SOW
  • Owners on both sides
  • Dependencies traced, not assumed

Delivery

Sample data

Open

AnyCRM. Delivery.

Read

The plan comes out of the paper, signed SOW, nothing retyped. Three service lines, two sites, one language pair, As scoped in the SOW. Go-live date fixed, Named in the commercial terms

Plan

Milestones with owners, both sides, ninety days, in phases. Phase one, knowledge capture, Owner Priya Raman, weeks one to three. Phase two, agent training and shadowing, Owner Priya Raman, weeks three to seven. Phase three, phased volume transfer, Owner client operations, weeks seven to twelve Forty-one tasks created. Owners on both sides

Risk

Phase two depends on a client system date nobody has agreed. Agent training needs their case system provisioned, and the SOW names the go-live but not the provisioning date. Every week that slips there lands on your ramp, not on theirs. Unowned dependency.

Your call

Three moves offered: Ask their programme lead to commit the provisioning date; Reorder so knowledge capture absorbs the wait; Raise it as a change note against the go-live. The plan does not pretend the dependency is not there.

Resolved

Provisioning date committed for week two, Confirmed by their programme lead in writing. Phase two unchanged, Training starts on the week it was planned for. The ramp has no silent dependencies left. Every milestone owned. Go-live date still holds.

Ellersby Group, signed on a Friday, with Priya Raman owning transition and a client system date nobody had agreed.

How it works

Four steps, and none of them is typing.

  1. 1

    The plan is read out of the paper.

    Ellersby Group

    Sample
    • Three service lines, two sites, one language pair

      As scoped in the SOW

      Clause 3
    • Go-live date fixed

      Named in the commercial terms

      Clause 9

    Service lines, sites, languages and the go-live date come from the SOW clauses that agreed them. Nothing is retyped and nothing is remembered.

  2. 2

    Phases with owners on both sides.

    Ellersby Group

    Sample
    • Phase one, knowledge capture

      Owner Priya Raman, weeks one to three

    • Phase two, agent training and shadowing

      Owner Priya Raman, weeks three to seven

    • Phase three, phased volume transfer

      Owner client operations, weeks seven to twelve

    Forty-one tasks createdOwners on both sides

    Knowledge capture, training and shadowing, then phased volume transfer, each with a named owner on your team and on theirs, and tasks created on the account rather than in a document.

  3. 3

    An unowned date, raised in week one.

    Ellersby Group

    Sample

    Phase two depends on a client system date nobody has agreed.

    Unowned dependency

    When training waits on a client system date the SOW never named, every week it slips lands on your ramp. Ask their programme lead to commit the date, reorder so an earlier phase absorbs the wait, or raise it as a change against go-live.

  4. 4

    Both sides read the same plan.

    Documents

    Sample
    • Transition plan

      Phases, milestones, owners and dependencies

    • Forty-one tasks

      On the account, assigned and dated

    Plan published

    The transition plan, the task list and a read-only link for the client programme lead, filed on the account with the dependency tracked.

The risk beat

When something turns, it tells you and shows you the moves.

Here the turn is: Phase two depends on a client system date nobody has agreed. Three moves were offered and a person took one: ask their programme lead to commit the provisioning date.

    Options

    • Ask their programme lead to commit the provisioning date
    • Reorder so knowledge capture absorbs the wait
    • Raise it as a change note against the go-live
  4. 4

    Human choice

    Ask their programme lead to commit the provisioning date

    A person presses one. Nothing is sent or written until then.

  5. 5

    Resolution

    The ramp has no silent dependencies left.

    Each milestone names the thing it waits on and the person who owns it, so a slip is a conversation in week two rather than a surprise in week seven.

    Every milestone ownedGo-live date still holds

Where the answers come from

The record you already have.

The plan does not need a workshop to exist. The signed SOW already contains the scope, the sites, the languages and the date everything has to work by.

Why BPOs need this

What we heard, in their words.

  • The problem

    We spend week one in a workshop rebuilding what the SOW already said.

    A delivery lead

  • The problem

    The client system date slipped and the ramp absorbed it silently.

    A transition manager

  • The problem

    Half the plan has an owner and the other half has a team name.

    An operations director

Questions

The honest answers.

Does it replace the transition workshop?

It replaces the part of the workshop that reconstructs the SOW. What the workshop is actually for, agreeing the hard dates with the client, starts from a drafted plan instead of a blank wall.

How are dependencies found?

By tracing each milestone to what it waits on. Anything waiting on a date the paper does not contain is raised as unowned before week one.

Do tasks live in the CRM or in a project tool?

They are created on the account with owners and dates, so delivery and the deal record are the same record rather than two.

What if the client cannot commit the date?

Then the plan reorders around it or the change is raised against go-live. What it does not do is leave the date silently inside a milestone.
