12. Lessons Learned and Noteworthy Accomplishments
Lessons Learned
– Pre-migration/strategy meeting should be held with division contacts and SME prior
to start of deployments. This assists with mitigation of any risks associated with
culture, legacy software, hardware, and peripherals.
– A centralized location for media and installation instructions would help streamline
the installation of legacy software
– Communication invite sent to user needs to be rearranged to have “You must be
present for the delivery and installation of your new computer” in the 1st paragraph
– Cultural issue with users taking the time to learn
Noteworthy Accomplishments
– Slimmed down on unnecessary software installed on the 400 newly deployed
machines
– 90% of delivery/installation/verification completed within an hour
– Windows 7 and Office 2010 Overview received good reviews from the 56 total
attendees
– Addition of 15 minute interview with user prior to migration aided with identifying
any possible pain points to watch out for
– Mandatory 24 to 48 hour follow up after the refresh was done for every user
