SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables a business analyst to synthesize the current state (6.1), target state (6.2), and risks (6.3) into a clear, justifiable change strategy and transition plan. It produces both a machine-readable contract and a sponsor-facing narrative to guide execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

Define solution scope with explicit capabilities, gaps, and exclusions.
Design transition states and select a strategy type (big_bang, phased, pilot_first).
Generate {project}_change_strategy.json and a Markdown strategic report for sponsors.
Compare strategy options using a weighted matrix and document opportunity costs.
Assess organizational readiness across six ADR-079 dimensions to inform go/no-go decisions.

Quick Start

Provide current context from 6.1–6.3 and request a complete 6.4 change strategy, then export JSON contract and a Markdown report.

FAQPage Schema

How do I define a change strategy for organizational transformation?▼

To define a change strategy, synthesize the current state, target state, and risk assessments into a transition approach, producing a machine-readable JSON contract and a sponsor-facing Markdown strategic report.

When do I need a transition plan for business analysis?▼

You need a transition plan when moving from current and target state analysis to execution, requiring the selection of a transition approach like big bang, phased, or pilot first to govern the organizational change journey.

How do I assess organizational readiness before a big bang transition?▼

Assess organizational readiness by evaluating six ADR-079 dimensions, comparing strategy options using a weighted matrix, and documenting opportunity costs to inform final go or no-go decisions.

Can I generate a JSON contract for change management from stakeholder analysis?▼

Yes, you can generate a project change strategy JSON contract by defining solution scope with explicit capabilities, gaps, and exclusions, then linking it traceably to prior stakeholder and state artifacts.

What is the best way to compare transition state strategies for business transformation?▼

The best way to compare transition state strategies is using a weighted matrix to evaluate big bang, phased, and pilot first options against readiness assessments, documenting the opportunity costs of each approach.

Do I need prior state analysis artifacts to create a change strategy?▼

Yes, you need completed current state, target state, and risk artifacts to synthesize a justifiable change strategy, ensuring the resulting transition plan maintains traceable linkage to those earlier analysis outputs.
