Conversion Sizing Table

The following checklist is based on our conversion experience and based on the steps and phases outlined in this chapter. The tasks are weighted based on the effort compared to other tasks in your conversion. For example, if you have seven months to convert a set of information, you need 15% of that seven month period to assess the state of your content.

To get all content to DITA and to proper topics, which means using 100% of your resources, you need to plan accordingly for each phase. You can modify this table for your purposes. You can also use the table as a way to size your conversion effort.
