Workforce Planning - Rollout
- Space Sync for Confluence
In order to have a sustainable rollout, there are a number of considerations and lessons learned worth thinking about before you get started.
Approach to rollout
Approach to communications, training and capturing of feedback
Approach to improving the process and approach over time
Understanding what 'done' means in your context is key and then how you manage / support your workforce planning community over time will impact your success.

Overview
Scaling workforce planning across all of the relevant areas of the organisation takes the lessons from the Pilot phase and applies them to a plan for a rollout.
There are two approaches:
big bang - get everyone to adopt the new processes together (iterations will be based on improvements)
incremental - start with parts of the organisation to build up confidence and reduce the number of impacted users at a time so that you can improve as you go
Starting your rollout
Rollout starts with its own kick-off steps to agree:
approach
adoption scope and timing
definition of done for a working approach
Rollout and sustained usage
As more users adopt workforce planning (process, tooling etc.) ensuring you have a re-usable approach to training, engagement, feedback can make your life much easier in the short and long term.
Things to consider:
how you plan to measure progress (impacted by the adoption approach) and capture feedback
what type of training, education and communications are you offering to people
how do you ensure that future joiners can learn the same thing in a repeatable way
