The Community Migration Guide

Written by Richard Millington, founder of FeverBee. Sponsored by Gainsight.

Richard Millington, one of the world’s leading experts on online community strategy and community-led growth, has seen every way a migration can go wrong, the like-for-like swap that changes nothing, the renewal-deadline panic that skips strategy entirely, the IT-led project that forgets members exist. 

So he finally put all of his thoughts and years of migration experience into a guide and documented what actually works (and what doesn’t). The Community Migration Guide is his answer to all of it.

Here’s what’s inside:

• The three strategic questions to answer before a vendor walks in the room
• A framework for deciding what actually deserves to make the move (spoiler: it’s less than you think)
• The six failure modes most teams don’t see coming and how to spot them early
• How to plan for the migration tax before your members feel it
• The 90 days after go-live that most project plans leave completely blank

There’s a reason migrations fail. There’s also a reason some communities come out the other side stronger than before. 

This guide is the difference between the two.
