Sample of SharePoint Upgrade Action Plan
Today I was reviewing some of SharePoint Upgrade documents and researched this subject browsing for the available resources, when I found one quite interesting document that describes the installation and configuration steps.
It was posted by Yasir Attiq originally (you can find the actual MPP file there) Posting the content here, because people are asking me about such plan time to time. The most interesting part is that those guys are planning 8-12 hours on all tasks :,,)
