Plan your migration phases

Using the information from the scan, confirm your migration plan. Your plan should specify the timeline and how users and their data will be migrated.

Most enterprises migrate data in phases, which serves 2 purposes. Phases are used to migrate data in accordance with your timeline. For example, you can use a phased migration to migrate core IT users and early adopters before other users. You can also divide large amounts of data into manageable pieces. 

The number of phases you have depends on the size and complexity of the data, the number of users in a domain, and what types of data you're migrating.

Group the data into phases

After you confirm your migration phases, use a scoped view to group the data into phases. Then, scan each phase before you run a migration. When you scan each phase, make sure that under Scan scope, you click Select Scoped view and select your scoped view for that phase.

Use the scan to confirm that your scoped view defines all the data intended for that phase. The scan also shows whether there are any significant errors.

Important: After you confirm your migration phases, don’t move users between phases during the migration process. Moving users can cause data duplication.
