Inform Users and Stakeholders About Upgrade

As your upgrade approaches, you need to inform users and stakeholders about the upcoming upgrade.

For example, consider completing the following tasks:
  • Share the date of the upgrade.
  • Ask everyone to limit their development work starting two days before the upgrade, if possible.

    If teams can't pause their work, the upgrade continues as planned. But, limiting your work can help ensure a successful upgrade.

  • Tell everyone to expect downtime during the upgrade window.

Next, plan to limit or pause your development work during the days leading up to the upgrade. See Limit Development Work Before the Upgrade.
