The Hidden Work of Content Migrations

Today was one of those days—filled with putting out fires, helping others, and making progress on a content migration. It was exhausting, but also fulfilling in the ways that matter most to me. When people hear content migration, they often think it’s just moving content from one system to another. What they don’t see is the behind-the-scenes effort that makes a migration successful: Managing SME Reviews: Coordinating with subject matter experts (SMEs), ensuring they review content for accuracy, and keeping everything moving despite busy schedules. Team Assignments and Peer Reviews: Balancing workloads, assigning content to writers, and ensuring peer reviews happen before SMEs even see the content.
