Hello every one.
Hi after 4 months struggle atlast I got placed as a Business Analyst. This is my 2nd week of my Job. 1st week I was looking at the Business process(As-is model) and I read documents based on the new project that they are going to launch.
Now at present I was given the task of preparing transition plan document . My programmm manager has explained me what exsactly he is looking for . But instead I want to know how a transition plan consistsof. Any articles or information related to it please can any one post to me.
\thank you,
regards,

Hi:
Is your as-is model logical ? (i.e., does it capture the essential unchanging functionality?). Do you have a logical to-be model in addition to your logical as-is model? If so, your transition plan is simply a matter of making note of the differences between the as-is and the to-be and then adding on any implementation specifics.

First of all Congratulations on your new job!
On the transition plan, you need clarify if the transition plan is for just BA scope for includes the entire project (aka transition from one system to another). If it is for the overall project then it looks like you might also be acting as project manager.
As Tony was saying, you need to understand the AS-IS state and the TO-BE state and then you need to consider what you need to do (the strategy) to get from point A to point B including:

Hi,
Thankyou for reply.
First thing that right now Business process model(as-is ) is done and to-be is not yet done.
First week I have studies what the project is about, requirements, as there are things are still pending(means not yet decided) on 3rd party vendor, and TO-BE is yet to be documented, and the programm manager has given me the task of making transition plan by understanding the business by writting more on assumptions and constraints , use models if necessary.
He made some analysis on the project roll out plan by using expected numbers on certain areas. So I have understood those documents Now I want to know how I can document transition plan based on present facts(as-is), expected figures, numbers, project plan , requirements.
As the requirements (detailed ) are not yet framed technically.
Thank you,

If you need to understand the business more than what you current as-is tells you, you are not done with your as-is.
Rule of thumb from what I was taught and have experienced: Ninty-eight percent (98%) of the required work is coming up with an adequate as-is model. The other 2% includes developing a scope document, creating a to-be model, identifying assumptions, etc.
