Create color-coded and numbered floor plans to document the move process

2. Pre-Move Phase:

Lead small groups or teams to tour the new space and build excitement

Appoint a move concierge to answer any questions before, during and after the move
Have weekly move meetings with key move team members and share project notes as issues arise
