Run pilots before full adoption.

Pilot selection

Choose two sites:

  • Pilot A: medium complexity marketing/documentation site.
  • Pilot B: higher complexity product/dashboard site.

Pilot success criteria

  • No critical accessibility regressions.
  • No critical visual regressions.
  • Core journeys complete without UX regressions.
  • Development velocity is equal or better than baseline.

Rollout stages

  1. Stage 0: internal QA only.
  2. Stage 1: limited traffic or internal users.
  3. Stage 2: full traffic for pilot properties.
  4. Stage 3: org-wide migration starts.

Exit criteria to full rebase

  • Pilot success criteria met for both pilot sites.
  • Release process and CI checks stable for two consecutive releases.
  • Migration playbook validated and updated with real findings.
