Migration

Software development rarely takes place in isolation, it will typically replace an existing system (either a software system, or a manual one). The software will be no use unless there is an adequate plan for moving to the new system.

Such a plan needs to take account of a number of factors:

• Ensuring that users know how to use the new software effectively.
• Avoiding business interruption during the switchover.
• Converting data between the old and new systems.
• Knowing which hardware is in use by each system.
• Being able to validate the new system is operating correctly.
• Having a viable "backout" plan if things do go wrong.
