While planning for the deployment of a new system that will affect both employees and customers, a project manager aims to minimize disruptions during the 'Go live' phase. Which of the following actions should the project manager prioritize to achieve this objective?
Assign extra resources to accelerate the development phase.
Schedule a post-implementation review meeting.
Develop a detailed plan to inform and prepare all stakeholders.
Secure additional funding to cover unexpected costs.
To minimize disruptions during the 'Go live' phase, the project manager should prioritize developing a detailed plan to inform and prepare all stakeholders. This involves communicating changes effectively and providing necessary training to both internal staff and external users. By ensuring everyone is informed and prepared, the transition is more likely to be smooth. Securing additional funding, while helpful for budget concerns, doesn't directly address stakeholder preparedness. Assigning extra resources to development doesn't ensure users are ready for the change. Scheduling a post-implementation review is important but happens after the 'Go live' phase and doesn't help in minimizing disruptions during the transition.
