Keeping a legacy process in place to satisfy a specific stakeholder is keyI only try to increase the rest of the team's reputation for further commitments to the goal therefore workflow was was still intact
Reconfiguring the brain to think as productive as possible
Transparency and Communication: I communicated openly with the team. We framed all workflows, including the legacy process, as dynamic and adaptable. This set the expectation that things could change as needs evolved.
Phased Approach: I proposed a phased approach. We identified areas where automation could streamline the new processes without disrupting the legacy system. This minimized disruption for the stakeholder while showing the team the benefits of modernization.
Collaboration: I actively engaged the stakeholder in discussions about the future state. We explored ways to gradually integrate the legacy process into the new workflow as comfort levels increased. This fostered a sense of ownership and ensured a smooth transition.
