Scope
Define included projects, datasets, date ranges, attachments, and any excluded records to set clear boundaries for conversion effort and testing.
A written conversion support plan reduces data loss, limits downtime, and assigns accountability for mapping, testing, and reconciliation. It clarifies legal and security controls for handling personally identifiable information and project records, and aligns technical teams, PMOs, and business owners around measurable acceptance criteria.
Teams use this document to coordinate technical migration work and confirm business readiness before cutover.
Define included projects, datasets, date ranges, attachments, and any excluded records to set clear boundaries for conversion effort and testing.
Document source field, target field, transformation logic, data types, and any normalization rules used during ETL or API-based transfers.
Specify row counts, checksum comparisons, sample record reviews, and reconciliation reports required for sign-off after each test phase.
Note data classification, encryption requirements, access controls, and any HIPAA or privacy obligations governing the transferred records.
Describe backups, restore points, and procedures to revert to the prior system if data integrity or business continuity is compromised.
List measurable success criteria (error rates, missed mappings, performance thresholds) and who authorizes production cutover.
