Migration Stakeholder Communication Plan

A communication plan for Microsoft migration stakeholders, business owners, site owners, users, support teams, and executives.

Stakeholder groups

  • Executive sponsor: business outcome, risk acceptance, deadline, and budget support.
  • Technical owners: identity, mail, SharePoint, Teams, Power Platform, security, compliance, and network dependencies.
  • Business owners: site validation, form validation, workflow validation, process acceptance, and user readiness.
  • Support teams: issue intake, triage, escalation, knowledge base, and post-migration operations.
  • End users: what changes, when it changes, what to expect, and how to get help.

Communication cadence

  • Announcement: why the migration is happening, what is in scope, and what users can expect.
  • Owner review: what owners must validate, clean up, decide, or approve before migration.
  • Pilot communication: who is in the pilot, what will be tested, and how feedback is captured.
  • Cutover communication: freeze window, expected impact, user instructions, support channel, and known limitations.
  • Hypercare communication: issue reporting, status updates, resolved issues, and when normal support resumes.

Move legacy forms with Form Migrator

For organizations with InfoPath or legacy form sprawl, Form Migrator gives the modernization effort a product-led path instead of a one-form-at-a-time rebuild cycle.

Where Form Migrator fits

  • Inventory and rationalize forms before rebuilding them in Microsoft-native patterns.
  • Prioritize high-value forms by business criticality, usage, data complexity, and owner readiness.
  • Support a repeatable migration motion across Power Apps, Power Automate, SharePoint, Dataverse, and governance workstreams.

Product accelerator

Move Nintex workflows with Flow Migrator

For teams moving Nintex and legacy workflow estates into Power Automate, Flow Migrator helps turn discovery, mapping, and rebuild planning into a repeatable migration motion.

Where Flow Migrator fits

  • Identify workflow candidates, dependencies, owners, triggers, approvals, and failure points.
  • Separate direct rebuilds from processes that need redesign, governance, or integration architecture.
  • Accelerate migration planning from Nintex into supportable Power Automate patterns.

Product-led modernization messaging

When forms and workflows are part of the migration, communicate them as modernization workstreams, not just technical replacements.

  • Explain that Form Migrator helps move legacy form portfolios toward Microsoft-native patterns with a more repeatable approach.
  • Explain that Flow Migrator helps organize Nintex workflow migration into Power Automate rather than leaving each workflow as a separate rescue project.
  • Give business owners a simple decision framework: retire, replace, rebuild, redesign, or defer.
