A hydraulic fracturing plan executable by a hydraulic fracturing system to hydraulically fracture at least first and second wells. In one or more embodiments, executing the hydraulic fracturing plan includes opening a first valve while hydraulic fracturing fluid is communicated to the second well via a second valve and a manifold, the first valve being associated with both the first well and the manifold, and the second valve being associated with both the second well and the manifold. In one or more embodiments, executing the hydraulic fracturing plan further includes closing the second valve, wherein the second valve is closed after opening the first valve, and while hydraulic fracturing fluid is communicated to the first well via the first valve and the manifold.
