Migration Process
1) Pre-Migration Analysis Run MetaVis pre-migration analysis (free from Protiviti) Identify trouble areas Create go-forward plan: delete, mitigate, re-build These become items on your project plan and areas to pay attention to in testing
Execute go-forward plan 2) Migration Planning Run Sharegate Migration simulator (free) to make sure everything is resolved Run test migrations for timing Plan for sprints using point system
3) Migration Sprint Planning Use sites as sprint tasks Anything extra is a separate task Includes testing and UAT activities
4) Cutover and Conversion When do you switch over to the new site? Can run a delta migration, but takes a long time
