I'm about to take lead of a decent sized software migration at work. (From V1 of some subsystem, to v2, both in house. We want to deprecated and eventually remove V1 totally) For 8 of our clients, totalling about 16 million customers.

I don't have too many details to share, as I don't know what's relevant. But I'm asking if anyone has any advice or recommended reading regarding such?

One book that is really inspiring me about it is "how big things get done" by Bent Flyvbjerg and Dan Gardner. In it, there's some key bits of advice such as

* Think slow, ask fast, and mitigate long tailed risks.

* Compartmentalize and stick to repeated processes. "Build with LEGOs"

* Look around at other projects of similar nature.

The last point is why I'm here, as I know some of you have been in the game for longer than I have, so feel free to share experiences that you might think is relevant, if you'd like.","time":1719046144,"title":"Ask HN: Advice for leading a software migration?","type":"story"}],[36468535,{"by":"jph","descendants":81,"id":36468535,"kids":[36470188,36469148,36469321,36471597,36471459,36470072,36469478,36469243,36469274,36469332,36470047,36469275,36469226,36471836,36469241,36469794,36471728,36469345,36479140,36468923,36481751,36468901,36469918,36469681,36469537,36469442,36469029,36469829,36469267,36470593,36473398,36472011,36468859,36475289,36470306,36470169,36469536,36543740,36476737,36543716,36469063,36471676,36469436,36470800,36469916],"score":157,"text":"I'm creating a UI/UX Primer as an e-book to help students learn about user iterfaces, user experience, and usability in general.
