A one woman show of migrating an entire R&D SCM from Bitbucket to Gitlab

Writing code is something that we learned. Managing a project E2E - Probably not that much.

In this talk, I’ll share my journey of migrating the entire R&D’s codebase from BitBucket to GitLab on my own, but with the great help of people along the way.

I’ll share best practices for managing a technical project with a lot of takeaways you could adopt so your project will be handled smoothly and successfully. 

I will cover:

• Planning phase - What to think about, things to consider, foresee bottlenecks and tackle them upfront, deadlines, etc.
• Implementation overview along with needed considerations.
• A project is a project and should be treated as such - How and when to update on blockers and status.
• Documentation & handoff - What should be covered that’ll help the DevOps team maintain it.
• Training for R&D department.
