Scenario: Planning a departmental move

Most moves at Company ABC headquarters are the result of facility-level move requests. However, next month, the executive team plans to move the call center department from one facility to another facility. The strategic space planner assigns the approved space scenario to a specific move planner. Then, the move planner creates the move line items from the space scenario, and assembles the items into a move project.

Background

Steven is the strategic space planner at Company ABC. Six months ago, he is given the task of evaluating different space scenarios to address the space needs of their expanding call center department. By applying the existing planning environment, portfolio plans, and space plans in the IBM® TRIRIGA® Strategic Facility Planning application, Steven creates a new space plan. In the space plan, he creates and compares different space scenarios. After several months of evaluations by the executive team and facilities teams, a space scenario is approved.

Steven assigns the approved scenario to Paulina, the move planner at Company ABC. Paulina coordinates with Millicent, the move manager at Company ABC, and the facilities team for the physical move work to be conducted.

Steps

After Steven assigns the approved scenario to her, Paulina creates a move project. The steps that she follows for planning a departmental move are similar to the steps for planning a scheduled move. Paulina takes the following steps:
  • Step 1: Create a move project
  • Step 2: Assign resources to new locations
  • Step 3: Assign move line items and work tasks to the project
  • Step 4: Schedule the move project
  • Step 5: Perform the move work
  • Step 6: Track project performance
  • Step 7: Complete the move project
