Office Relocation Board for Beginners: 6 Decision Branches, 6-Month Countdown by Department

Office staff put in charge of a relocation use this beginner template to plan the schedule and tasks from six months out to after the move. The whiteboard moves across 4 pages, setting the date, headcount, purpose, and people on page 1, branching what to decide into 6 areas on page 2, ranking the top 4 by importance and urgency on page 3, and placing them on a 6-step timeline from six months out to after the move on page 4. The task board has 4 columns - not decided, preparing, waiting on a vendor, and done - with 4 parent tasks matching the pages and 3 subtasks each, and each subtask points to its board frame. Rewrite the e.g. notes with your own details to catch early which steps take time, and page 3 lets you hand work to a vendor or department rep. Share the board with limited visibility to align packing dates, though it gives no legal advice on leases or filings.
