Migrating Large Projects: Eating the Elephant One Bite at a Time

This talk explores why project documentation inevitably reaches a point where it needs to “move house” — whether due to changes in the technology stack, a shift in structure, or a full-scale migration across several dimensions at once.

We will examine the key reasons and types of migration, discuss how to develop an overall migration plan, and look at real cases based on practical experience. Particular attention will be given to both common and unexpected issues that may arise during the process, along with practical solutions and effective workarounds.

Finally, we will summarise the main takeaways and offer recommendations to help minimise risks and make documentation migration more predictable and manageable.
