Change Management

" summary

Explains concrete tactics used during KDE’s move from Fabricator to GitLab: start with the end in mind, break the rollout into small measurable steps, communicate specific benefits to affected groups, and win over likely resistors by meeting them first and addressing their concerns. Uses Kodak and Nokia failures as numbers-free cautionary examples, recommends polls or focus groups depending on audience, suggests newcomers get onboarding support (promo group, KDE Network), and shows short interactive experiments to reveal reaction to change.
