Preparing the Organization

To prepare your organization for the upgrade:

  1. Develop a project charter to capture baseline information.
  2. Obtain formal buy-in from the stakeholder organizations. You should discuss both the business impact of the change and the associated change schedule. For example, secure agreement on all business blackout periods necessary for system changes.
  3. Kick off the project in a face-to-face meeting.
