What happens to the TLMP at Transition?
The current project team should see themselves as the custodians of the TLMP; custodianship may transfer to another IPT or organisation during the course of the programme. It is important to define and agree the transition strategy early in the project – the TLMP should be used as the vehicle for this. The IPT which will eventually receive the project and support it in-service should be engaged from the earliest stages of writing the TLMP. Some acquisition IPTs have made their counterpart in-service IPT a cover signatory to the TLMP to ensure their early participation in Through Life planning. See the guidance on the TLMP and Transition Planning.
