Abstract

A transition in an outsourced IT project is devoted to the transfer of the project from an outgoing project team to an incoming one. It is a complex, risky, and challenging building block of importance, identified as being a critical factor in the success of an outsourced project. Ensuring the good quality of a transition is then fundamental. We present here our experience on quality evaluation and improvement of a real transition in a public institution.
