This is the story of how we worked the Microsoft FastTrack team to migrate our 2013 On-Prem installation into Dynamics 365. There were bumps along the way; Plans A - F were scrapped and re-planned, but after 15 months we went live. We often referred to our project as a how-to guide on how to change your tires while driving! Come and see how we did it. This talk will highlight: - How Microsoft FastTrack impacted our migration plan - How we used Agile to rapidly refactor technical dept in preparation for the upgrade and maintain and deliver features to current Production (Keep the lights on) - The value of having a continuous automated testing suite - Of course, lessons learned from mistakes.

Learning Objectives:

• Upon complete the participant will be able to understand how Fast Track impacts D365 On-Prem to Online migrations.
