Using an Appropriate Change Management Strategy

When upgrading, you must:

  1. Manage development, application configuration, and technology changes.
  2. Freeze metadata and system data in your production environment.
  3. Ensure you have applied all relevant patches appropriately.
  4. Search for issues throughout your upgrade effort and schedule relevant updates until you reach a “go/no-go” milestone.
  5. Enforce a new release content freeze to stabilize the environment.
