MIGRATION PLAYBOOK
Switching from GitHub Copilot.
- 01
Evaluate requirements
Document current GitHub Copilot usage, critical features, integrations, pain points. This drives the must-have list for the replacement.
- 02
Run a proof of concept
Test the top 2-3 candidates against real-world scenarios. Focus on critical workflows and integration points; ignore feature surface area.
- 03
Plan the migration
Phased plan: data export / import, user training, parallel running period, rollback procedures. Start with a pilot team.
- 04
Execute and optimize
Implement, monitor adoption metrics, gather user feedback, optimize configuration. Most migrations take 30-90 days for full adoption.
