Creating an Upgrade Decision Matrix

Although each application will have its own inventory sheet, it is helpful to put together a brief summary document outlining the final results of the vendor research process and the ramifications to the network upgrade project. As with all documents that affect the scope and end state of the network infrastructure, this document should be reviewed and approved by the project stakeholders.

This document can be expanded to summarize which applications will be installed on which network server if there are going to be multiple Windows Server 2012 servers in the final configuration. In this way, the document can serve as a checklist to follow during the actual testing process.
