Incomplete practical wisdom

Some site migrations fail before the new site is even launched. A strategy built on unclear and unrealistic goals is unlikely to succeed.

Establishing measurable goals is essential to measuring the impact of the migration. For most site migrations, the primary goal should be to maintain the site's current traffic and revenue levels. In argentina number data some cases, the bar can be raised, but in general, anticipating or forecasting growth should be a secondary goal. This will help avoid setting unrealistic expectations.

Poor planning
Coming up with a detailed project plan as early as possible will help avoid delays along the way. Factor in extra time and resources to deal with any unforeseen circumstances that arise. No matter how well thought out and detailed your plan is, it is highly unlikely that everything will go as expected. Be flexible with your plan and accept the fact that there will almost certainly be delays. Map out all dependencies and communicate them to all stakeholders.

Avoid planning to launch your site near your seasonal peaks, as you won’t have enough time to fix issues if something goes wrong. For example, retailers should avoid launching their site near September/October to avoid jeopardizing pre-Christmas engagement. In this case, it would be wiser to launch during the quieter summer months.
