A migration wave with a stop point.

A sample change record for moving mail and files. The sequence makes authorization, validation and unresolved exceptions visible.

Decision supported · Awaiting pilot approval

Approve a pilot only when the source, destination, test owner and recovery route are agreed.

Record	What the record covers	Responsibility / action
Prepare	Confirm scope, dependencies and source state	Change owner
Pilot	Run sign-in, mail and file-access checks	Test owner
Decide	Proceed, hold or use the agreed recovery route	Approver
Handover	Reconcile results and assign open exceptions	Operating owner

Evidence to attach

Source inventory, approved change window, pilot test record and source-to-target reconciliation would be attached to the delivered plan.

Acceptance & limits

A mismatch or failed critical test holds the next wave. Recovery steps must fit the migration method; a completed move is not always automatically reversible.
