The Weekend Changeover Plan and Comms Checklist helps you plan an office move or IT changeover that starts after work on Friday and has staff working normally on Monday morning.
It is written for project managers, workplace and facilities leads, and IT managers who are responsible for the weekend and for what staff find when they walk back in.
The plan runs through eleven areas: scope and objectives, stakeholder alignment, building access and site readiness, desk and asset planning, IT changeover preparation, furniture and white glove requirements, communications before the weekend, live control during the move, Monday-morning readiness, post-move communications, and documentation and handover. Each has a tick list and space for notes. A communication timeline at the end shows what to send and confirm from three weeks before the move through to Monday.
Half of the document is about communication, and that is deliberate. A weekend move can go exactly to plan and still feel like a failure if staff were not told what to pack, where they sit, or who to call. The suggested topics for the before and after messages are there to be copied.
Use it as your working plan, or to check a supplier's plan against. Our workplace team runs weekend changeovers with IT disconnect and reconnect as one managed project.
