In this assignment, you will develop a change management plan that is similar to what a business today might use to implement change.

Your team is being asked to discontinue their current operations and move to the design and development of applications for a new smart phone. This will require new skills and experience that some of your team members do not possess. In addition, management has asked for a shortened timeline meaning your team will have to put in considerable overtime hours.

You are to develop a change management plan for leading your team through these changes, including reorganization. You will review your plan with your boss.
