Episode
Best Practices: Cutover Planning
with Adeel Edhi, Rich Black
In a Microsoft Dynamics 365 deployment, the process of transition from the old system to the Dynamics 365 application is defined as the cutover. Occasionally, cutover is described as the final transition at go-live, but that description mischaracterizes the actual work for cutover that starts early in the project.
The overall cutover project plan provides the view of the milestones and key tasks from the start of the project to the go-live event (including the post go-live cutover tasks). However, the go-live cutover plan needs to be a detailed, task-oriented plan because you have a limited period in which to perform and validate the final cutover tasks and limited room for significant errors.
