2. Develop a detailed migration plan that outlines the steps involved, timeline, and any potential fallback options.
3. Conduct thorough testing of the migration process in a non-production environment to identify and address any issues before performing the actual migration.
4. Communicate with stakeholders and end-users about the migration plan and potential impact on their work.
