Executive summary

A playbook for deciding delivery phasing and waves, how to group and sequence work into waves and set the go criteria for each. This is the Phasing Wave Decision Plan Playbook from the Stratenity Library, a governed consulting deliverable that is already built for you. It gives your team the full working method for phasing wave decision plan, and it walks through everything from dependency mapping and the sequencing backbone to access, possessions, and the live-operation constraint. Every asset ships with a worked client example, a clear RACI, defined KPIs, and governance you can defend, so your team adapts it to a live client engagement instead of starting from a blank page.
