The data migration is
usually only one small sub-project within a big or huge project of
upgrade or even application migration to similar application of an
other vendor. As usual for small sub-projects not too much attention
is dedicated to the data migration, which is indeed a central and
critical part of the whole project. As complex migrations of huge
amount of data are not executed very often in an company, there is
not too much experience with unusual situations, and the likely hood
to run into one of the unusual, seldom pitfalls is very high,
resulting in significant delay of the whole project.
This
report contains a list of critical checks to identify and address or
exclude those pitfalls in an early phase of the project, thus
ensuring the confidence for keeping the time plan.
The base document provides background and explanations, the checklist template enables quick and easy documentation of the decisions, mostly by check-boxes.
