Post-Migration Checklist: Ensuring Success After Moving to Salesforce Lightning 

Introduction

Migrating to Salesforce Lightning is a powerful move for businesses seeking agility, enhanced user experiences, and robust Salesforce solutions. However, the real success of your Salesforce migration doesn’t end at go-live — it begins there. At AiSynapTech, we specialize in Salesforce Migration Services designed to deliver not just a seamless transition, but lasting success. Let’s explore the essential post-migration checklist to maximize your investment in Salesforce software. 

Validate and Test Thoroughly

Ensuring Your New Salesforce Environment Performs as Expected

Functional Testing

Ensure that all workflows, processes, and integrations work as intended. Use a sandbox environment to run end-to-end user journeys.

Data Integrity Checks

Verify that no data was lost, corrupted, or misplaced during the migration. Pay attention to relationships, attachments, and custom fields.

Performance Testing

Monitor system speed, load times, and responsiveness under real-world conditions. Lightning Experience is faster — but only if configured correctly.

Security and Access Validation

Confirm that role hierarchies, permissions, and visibility settings are intact and match your business requirements.

Implement Feedback Loops

Capturing Real User Insights for Continuous Improvement

Post-migration, gathering feedback isn’t optional — it’s essential to optimize Salesforce solutions based on real-world use. 

Conduct User Surveys

Short, focused surveys can highlight immediate issues users are facing. Keep them simple and actionable.

Host Feedback Sessions

Organize virtual town halls or departmental sessions where users can openly discuss their experiences.

Monitor Support Tickets

Analyze support requests for patterns. Multiple tickets on the same issue point to areas needing urgent attention.

Appoint Lightning Champions

Create a small group of power users who advocate for Salesforce Lightning internally and relay feedback to leadership.

Drive User Adoption Strategically

Transitioning to Lightning can feel like a cultural change. Strategic adoption efforts turn resistance into excitement.
