Lesson-71249-285

Transition and testing periods are important for the services delivered by the project. Transition and testing periods should be considered as part of the project’s life cycle and, when possible, anticipated in the project design. This lesson applies to cases such as the transfer of the Abrazo program and the testing of the software platforms. With regard to the transfer of the Abrazo program, it seems important to ensure that there is a period for interaction between management teams and that a mechanism is in place to transfer the expertise and knowledge acquired by the project in an organized and smooth manner. Regarding the introduction of new software platforms, the project should take into consideration that the effective implementation of systems usually requires a period to manage unexpected changes associated with incorporating the new technology. It is not unusual to require the allocation of extra resources for this purpose.
