Phase 3: Prep
Now that we have our plan together, it’s time to prep our team, environments, and data for the big move. This phase can take time, anywhere from days to weeks, so ensure that you’re leaving enough time to complete this section. Note that if there are resource constraints or more hands-on support is needed, you can connect with a Solution Partner to manage the heavy lifting.
Prep your team and site
With our plan and estimated timelines in place, start socializing the details of your migration with stakeholders and the teams who will be impacted so users can get up and running smoothly with minimal disruptions to their work. For some companies this step may happen sooner depending on the criticality of the products being migrated. It’s also best to establish a comms cadence for when and how often you’ll be communicating updates so teams can be informed and prepared for the change.
Use our stakeholder communication play to plan how you’ll give stakeholders the right information, at the right time, and through the appropriate channels.
