In the Migration phase, the activities described in the migration plan are performed.
Migration components
The following table outlines the components that make up Phase 3 Migration:
| Component | Outline | Responsibilities |
|---|---|---|
| Migration preparation |
Migration preparation covers actions that should be undertaken before the migration is commenced. Migration preparation activities can include:
Pre-migration testing is an important activity that can be used to validate actions set out in the migration plan. This can be an iterative process with changes made to the migration plan based on the results of testing. Any changes to the migration plan should be documented and executed in accordance with the change management procedures outlined in the project plan. Sampling can be used as part of the testing strategy where large numbers of records are involved. |
|
| Migrate |
The migration of records to the Digital Archives incorporates automated and customisable workflows in the Digital Archives system which will be deployed based on the requirements of the migration plan. |
|
| Migration validation |
Migration validation covers tests that should be undertaken after the migration has been performed. Post-migration testing validates that the migration plan has been executed successfully. If any errors are identified or any issues require fixes then these will need to be addressed before the migration is deemed complete. This may require the migration to be re-run. Any changes to the migration plan should be documented and executed in accordance with the change management procedures outlined in the project plan. Once the migration has been validated and all required actions in the migration plan have been completed the migration project can move onto Phase 4 Project Completion. |
