Learning management system ( LMS ) migration is one of the most complex and labor-intensive initiatives that a university might undertake . For universities with a significant hybrid or online presence , the number of courses that they must migrate from a legacy to a new system may number in the thousands . The designated team must execute the project in a manner that permits students and faculty members to transition smoothly from one system to another without loss of critical data , records , or materials . Meanwhile , faculty members and students interact with difficulty in two different systems until the project is complete .
It is impossible to predict challenges accurately in a one- to two-year migration project , given the diversity of courses , instructional formats , and faculty and student preferences . Inevitably , as soon as courses transition and users make contact within the new system , teams must adapt their best-laid plans to a new reality . Teams must adapt their processes and designs to emerging requirements and use cases that the new system provides , which are different from the legacy system procedures and habits that develop over many years .
Aligning LMS Migration with the Agile Manifesto
A
framework that may be informative in LMS migration is agile project management . The values and principles of the Manifesto for Agile Software Development ( https :// agilemanifesto . org /) provide an agile mindset to projects in software development . With some adaptation , the manifesto applies to other fields , such as instructional technology .
Early Considerations
Agile teams follow an iterative , rapid-cycle path from conception and early
