Pressed Send to quickly! Here is the query:

WITH numbered AS (
   SELECT EmpId, EmpName, DepartmentID, AllocationDate,
          rowno = row_number() OVER(PARTITION BY EmpId 
                                    ORDER BY AllocationDate)
   FROM   EmployeeDept
)
SELECT a.EmpId, a.EmpName, a.DepartmentID AS OldDeptID,
       b.DepartmentID AS NewDeptID, a.AllocationDate,
       b.AllocationDate AS TransferDate
FROM   numbered a
JOIN   numbered b ON b.rowno = a.rowno +1
                 AND b.EmpId = a.EmpId
ORDER  BY a.EmpId, a.rowno
