OPS.16:4.3 - Establish the conditions for running the trial

Recover the service, reliability, human-condition, access, permission, support, recovery, and resource conditions on which the trial relies. State the basis, interval and responsible party for each condition. Use existing resource, schedule and service results from OPS.10–OPS.13 or OPS.19 where they establish the required arrangement. Count existing assignments, trial work, learning and support against the same actual resources.

Obtain ordinary access, support and work allocations from their existing providers under the current arrangements. Use an organization-change result when the proposal needs to change the contribution, responsibility or authority arrangement itself, rather than use it for another case. Granting already-permitted tool access can be an administration service; transferring responsibility for accepting a result needs the corresponding organizational and professional decisions. Use a sufficient authorized result directly; OCE supplies design or coordination where that question remains unresolved, and OCE.11 coordinates the organization change with continuing service when needed. Unchanged job titles do not make a proposed arrangement effective. Obtain any missing capability or practice support from its appropriate development or introduction method.

A conditional WorkPlan can name a missing arrangement and the decision needed to establish it. Before starting the dependent trial Work, confirm that its allocation, permitted overlap, service protection, support, recovery and hand-back conditions hold for the required interval. A prospective plan does not establish their availability. If a condition is missing, keep the affected trial Work closed, as an OPS.19 decision may require, and state what can still proceed.
