S4: Operational Readiness Checklist

Notice: applying this to your agency.

The IT Project Resources are not meant to replace your agency’s internal project management practices or prescribe how you must operate. Instead, they offer concepts and tools that can strengthen delivery by providing a scalable framework for project level coordination. All project documentation should be maintained throughout each stage in alignment with agency policies and, where applicable, WaTech requirements and oversight expectations.

Confirm that systems, teams, and processes are prepared for implementation.  Note: If there is an external user community, ensure that the model to support customers outside of the Agency are prepared and messaging is ready to be sent to users of the system, providing clarity on what is occurring, why, and who to support during the transition. 

For Programs

Validate enterprise operational readiness across environments, support teams, and processes.

For Programs with Agency‑Led Sub‑Projects

Agencies complete local readiness checklists. Enterprise team resolves gaps and confirms readiness across the program.

For Projects

Complete the project’s operational readiness checklist and confirm support activation.
