Selection of teams for movement of location

The space in the office was not enough to house more employees and contractors. Management decided to move the resources to a different location which also was the vendor location. At the first, we have to move 25 resources.

Task of identifying and building morale of the team was somethings that I picked up.

First I did a small discussion with my immediate reportees updating them on the management decision. Half of them took it in a positive manner and the others the negative way. There were many who were enthusiastic about this move since it was close to their homes.

I collaborated with another manager who was working on this organizational initiative at a different level. He was curious on what issue my team found while taking up this exercise.

The issues were known - ports need to be  opened and ip addresses need to be whitelisted.
I chose the projects that were independent and could easily pick up and start at the new location. The dependencies were examined closely to know if something would impact - ex - release dates.

More on this as we proceed on this collaborative activity.
