5:05 - 5:45pm PST - Session 2: Upgrade Sitecore like a Pro!

In the past 10+ years working with Sitecore, I have done numerous upgrades, resulting in the Upgrade Planning Strategy and a set of Upgrade Tips and Tricks. These tips will help save 2-3 times (!) on spent efforts, compared to the direct approaches. I am going to take through both of these topics. There is still no "silver bullet" for Sitecore upgrades, but following tips from my session will eliminate risks, reduce efforts, and bring you confidence while upgrading your instances.
