<ul>
<li>The checklist assumes a multi-environment upgrade process; the steps in the checklist must be performed in one or more non-production environments initially and then in the production upgrade.</li>
<li>Non-production environments should match the production environment as closely as possible while not interfering with the production environment in any way.</li>
<li>We strongly recommend at least two non-production environments. This ensures that there is an opportunity to upgrade, revise and verify the upgrade process.</li>
</ul>

<p>Complete the following checklist for each environment being affected by product changes:</p>
