Once ready, decommission PROD, point devs to NEWPROD
Once validated, during weekend
Review and iterate if need be
Redo all the work done on TEST on NEWPROD
Replicate PROD to NEWPROD

Advanced installer pipelines
When testing, be careful of shared locations / azure repo
Check builds with people using them

Check-ins
History
Document every step
Define acceptance criterias / things that need to work to pass
