Access and identity
- Confirm users can sign in and reach migrated resources from expected devices and networks.
- Validate admin roles, break-glass access, group membership, delegated access, and service accounts.
- Review external users, guest access, sharing links, and Conditional Access impact.
- Check that high-value owners can manage content and permissions in the target environment.
Workload validation
- Verify mail flow, shared mailboxes, calendars, SharePoint sites, OneDrive sync, Teams files, channels, workflows, forms, critical reports, and integrations.
- Test common user journeys: opening files, editing documents, submitting forms, approving requests, sharing files, finding content, and escalating support issues.
- Confirm migrated Power Apps and Power Automate flows run with correct connections, permissions, owners, error handling, and monitoring.
- Validate that business owners can complete the actual process the system supports.
Operational handover
- Document known issues, post-migration changes, support owners, runbooks, and governance actions.
- Schedule review sessions with site owners, Power Platform owners, support desk, and administrators.
- Close migration waves only after business validation, issue triage, and owner acceptance are complete.
