Engagement & Adoption personas represent the roles that prepare individuals, teams, supervisors, and agencies for change, and sustain adoption after go‑live. These roles build awareness, confidence, readiness, and long‑term capability so modernization efforts land successfully and remain stable. They coordinate communication, training, stakeholder engagement, accessibility, readiness checks, and adoption reinforcement across all IT Project Resources Framework stages (S0–S9).
These personas ensure the “people side of change” is managed proactively, reducing confusion, resistance, and post‑go‑live disruption. Their work is essential for moving groups from awareness → readiness → adoption → stabilization.
Roles Included
• Accessibility Coordinator / Liaison
• Impacted Party Engagement Lead
• Super Users / Change Champions
What These Roles Ensure
• Clear, consistent communication that explains what is changing and why.
• Accurate impact analysis and readiness tracking for all affected groups.
• Training that builds confidence and capability before go‑live.
• Accessibility and user-centered design in all communication and learning.
• Stakeholder engagement, feedback loops, and coalition building.
• Readiness signals that guide deployment timing and hypercare planning.
• Adoption reinforcement during stabilization and beyond.
Why These Roles Matter
Engagement & Adoption personas make modernization work stick. They help agencies understand, accept, and adopt new systems and processes with confidence. Without them, projects risk confusion, resistance, rework, low adoption, and long stabilization cycles.
These roles protect the investment by ensuring people, not just systems, are ready.
