Minimize Unnecessary Work• Leverage prebuilt solutions that can automate the majority of the

work to be done• Lookfortoolsthatcanbecustomizedtofittheneedsofyourindividual

migration

• Measure twice, cut once

• Plantheprocessinadvancetominimizeunnecessaryreworkandreimports

• Separate “Nice to Have” from “Must Have” migration items and

migrate in priority order
