Process steps
1
Software upgrade schedule steps
2 days from previous step
Here's how to schedule your software upgrade:
- Go to Settings
- Software update
- Scheduled software update and set the time you want the update done
2
Identify what needs upgrading
3 days from previous step
Go through your hardware, software, and systems and look at age and performance. What's out of support? What's causing problems? Rank your list by risk and business impact so you know where to focus first.
3
Plan the upgrade timeline
5 days from previous step
Decide when each upgrade should happen. Factor in your budget cycles, any business-critical periods you need to avoid, and which systems depend on each other. Build in buffer time -- upgrades rarely go exactly as planned.
4
Budget and approve
7 days from previous step
Work out the costs for each upgrade -- licenses, hardware, labor, and training. Get budget approval before you commit to anything. If you're dealing with larger upgrades, you may need to spread the funding across phases.
5
Execute upgrades
14 days from previous step
Follow your change management process step by step. Test before you deploy, and make sure your rollback plan is ready to go if something breaks. Let affected users know what's happening and when, and document everything you do along the way.
6
Review and update schedule
21 days from previous step
After each upgrade, take time to capture what you learned. Add new items to the schedule as they come up, and make sure you're tracking warranty and support end dates so nothing catches you off guard.
