Cutover Planning
The cutover plan refines the Transition Plans strategies and decisions and specifies the details to execute a cutover to a live environment. The Cutover Plan is a detailed schedule of tasks that are required to convert legacy systems to the Modernized Services. This schedule identifies tasks, task dependencies, level of effort (hours), and resources assigned. There are separate Cutover Plans for each deployment. A Cut Over Plan ensures that plan for addressing issues during and immediately after the system cutover is well-defined and communicated to the IT team. Cut over planning determines proper cut over plan, pilot, strategy for data management, conversion support, ownership and responsibilities. Deliverables for a cut over plan are Migration /Conversion Plan, Support Requirements and Conversion Documents .
Cutover Planning
In short the cutover plan covers the following activities:
a)Review Migration /conversion planning and timing b)Create checklist c)Determine production readiness d)Contingency Plan e)Approve cutover f) Establish helpdesk g)Reorganize team for production support h)Define long term production support strategy
