Treating Your Upgrade Activity as a Formal Company Project

To make the upgrade a formal project:

  1. Have a structured approach for managing tasks, resolving issues, and measuring progress.
  2. Define and document the upgrade's scope.
  3. Have someone on the team with experience managing technical projects who can also help you anticipate and manage the effects of this initiative on other parts of the organization including end users, managers, and executives.
