Possible Migration from 5.6 to 6.2

[jessielouthan]

*Edited the title per the confirmation that 5.6.1 was the last version of CQ

I’ve been tasked with providing a high-level overview of the risks, timing, and benefits of migrating from 5.X to 6.2.

I did get a good chunk of information from this article (thank you to whoever wrote this!):

https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-2/deploy/upgrade.html

However, if anyone else has any tips/suggestions/advice that goes beyond the scope of this article, I would greatly appreciate it!

(I do know that the timing is contingent on the size of the content repository and whether or not the Dev team will follow all of the necessary steps to perform the upgrade)
