Project Server 2007 Pre-migration Checklist

I've recently been involved in our in house project server 2003 - 2007 migration. Below is a useful list in helping build a checklist and identifying possible issues with migration.

  • Checking for check-out projects
  • Checking for Projects that have been externally edited
  • Checking for projects with pending status updates
  • Checking for duplicate Enterprise Resources
  • Checking for duplicate Enterprise Resource used in projects
  • Project Version should be at least ‘Project Server 2003 SP2A’
  • Enterprise Global should not be externally edited
  • Checking if the Enterprise Global is checked out
  • Checking of the Enterprise Global is locked
  • Checking if the default language on the Web tables database and Project tables database and Project tables database should match
  • Checking if Resources have comma in their names
  • Checking if required enterprise resource custom fields do not have values
  • Checking if a resource custom field has a value which is not in the lookup table definition
  • Checking if Enterprise resources are externally edited
  • Checking if there are Enterprise Resource Duration custom fields with value lists
  • Checking if Enterprise Resource Duration custom fields contain valid values
  • Checking if Enterprise Custom Field names do not contain leading or trailing spaces
  • Checking if the Migration Administrator Account exists in Project Server 2003
