Exiting technology projects
A handbook from small scale and the National Center for State Courts.
The best time to plan for the end of a technology project is before it starts. This guide is designed to help procurement officers and other court stakeholders ensure continuity of service, enable seamless future technology upgrades, and plan for contingencies. You can use it to evaluate a prospective vendor contract or bid, or to document how a project went.
The best way to get the guide is to order a free booklet from the National Center for State Courts. You can also download the guide as a free PDF.
This site also includes a miniature interactive version of the booklet. You can explore it to get a sense of how the guide works, and how to incorporate its practices into your project management routines. (Any data you enter is only saved in your browser, so you shouldn't use it for anything really important.)
