Awayprosessen

Awayprosessen is a term used in Norwegian-language professional contexts to describe a structured process for moving away from or disengaging from a current state, asset, or approach. The exact scope varies by field, but common applications include information technology, logistics, and organizational change.

In IT, awayprosessen may refer to decommissioning hardware, migrating data to alternative systems, or securely erasing assets. In logistics and facility management, it can describe the relocation or disposal of inventory and equipment. In governance and strategy work, it denotes a deliberate pivot away from a plan or objective, with formal assessment of risks, costs, and benefits.

Typical characteristics include a defined scope, stakeholder involvement, risk assessment, a stepwise plan, execution, validation of outcomes, and documentation. Organizations often implement rollback or contingency options to revert if needed. The absence of a universal standard means practices and terminology can differ across sectors.
