Plan the rollout
Set a scope for the first release and keep it smaller than the full long-term design.
Decide what content, users, and reports must move on day one versus later phases.
Assign ownership for platform setup, content migration, identity, communications, and testing.
Prepare for migration
Inventory courses, enrollments, completions, user records, and files before migration starts.
Check whether historical data needs to be preserved in the new system or archived elsewhere.
Validate the migration path with a sample set before moving everything.
Set up operations
Configure roles, permissions, notifications, naming rules, and audit expectations early.
Document how admins handle support requests, resets, escalations, and content updates.
Create a rollback or contingency plan in case launch issues affect access or tracking.
Next steps
Use a staging environment if one is available.
Test sign-in, enrollment, tracking, and reports before launch.
Confirm the handoff from implementation to ongoing administration.
- Inventory data and content.
- Pilot migration with a small sample.
- Test access, tracking, and reporting.
- Document support ownership and rollback steps.
