^ [[6 Planning Phase]] # 6.8  Business Implementation Plan The Business Implementation Plan aims to **increase the likelihood of achieving the project’s desired outcomes and benefits**. It documents an assessment of the project’s **impact on the organisation's processes**, culture and people and outlines the **change-management** and **communications** activities that need to take place to ensure that the project [[outputs]] are effectively integrated into the organisation’s environment. Depending on the organisation, the business implementation activities ==can be performed as part of the same project or as a separate one==. These activities become part of the [[Project Work Plan]] and are scheduled and controlled as part of the overall project. ![[Table 6.8 - Business Implementation Plan - Key Participants.png]] ## Inputs - [[Business Case]] and [[Project Charter]] - [[Project Handbook]] and [[Project Work Plan]] - [[Transition Plan]] - [[Quality Management Plan]] ## Steps 1.
