Plan Your Migration to Microsoft 365: A Checklist Moving your organization to Microsoft 365 will take time and careful planning. Follow these steps to ensure a smooth transition. 1 Assess the current infrastructure. Take inventory of infrastructure and review current systems and tools to uncover areas for improvement, automation, and updates. 2 Determine deployment goals. Evaluate business needs and work with stakeholders to outline the scope and timeline for implementation and measures of success. Collect information about the current environment, such as the number of user accounts, network setting details, file storage locations, and the online meeting or messaging systems to be migrated.. 3 Resolve any deployment blockers. Prepare systems for migration to ensure a seamless transition. Clean up Active Directory accounts to prepare for synchronization, analyze and clean up data for frictionless conversion, and update any client software versions to eliminate bugs. 4 Configure Microsoft 365 services for the organization. Because Microsoft 365 is designed to be tailored, businesses can configure their subscription specifically for their organization, including verifying domains, configuring application settings, and preparing for single sign-on. 5 Onboard users. Communicate with team members in advance about the migration. Then roll out the solution: add users and assign licenses; migrate data, such as emails and files; and validate functionality. 6 Consider managed services.
