Outsourcing Transition Checklist

Printable checklist

Use this before moving work to a provider.

• Process steps are documented
• Examples are collected
• Provider training is scheduled
• Access is approved and limited
• Go-live date is realistic
• Rollback/pause trigger is known
• First-week review is scheduled
• First-month KPIs are selected

How to use it

Use the checklist as a meeting prompt. Unchecked items are not automatic deal-breakers, but they should be discussed before signing, transitioning, or renewing an outsourcing arrangement.
