Episode 79 — Operational Readiness and Transition Risk
A project’s finish line is not delivery—it is sustained operation. This episode examines operational readiness and transition risk: whether people, processes, and systems can absorb the new capability without disruption. The PMI-RMP exam often frames scenarios where technical success hides readiness gaps, expecting you to propose proactive verification steps. You will learn to define acceptance criteria for training, support, documentation, and continuity, then monitor them as risk indicators. The transition plan becomes your response tool, mapping dependencies between project and operational teams to ensure accountability.
Examples include incomplete user training delaying adoption, missing spare parts for new equipment, or unclear ownership of post-go-live incidents. Best practices include rehearsal events, staged cutovers, and integrated checklists reviewed at each gate. Troubleshooting guidance covers misaligned service-level agreements, unsupported legacy systems, and last-minute handovers that erode trust. On the exam, the correct option maintains service continuity through documented readiness verification—a hallmark of mature, end-to-end risk thinking.
