What does 'we're deprecating the old CI pipeline template' mean?
Deprecation is a signal, not an immediate deletion. It tells teams: this feature is on a sunset path, do not start new projects on it, and existing users should migrate. It gives teams advance warning to plan migration work without being caught by a sudden removal.

What is 'the migration path documented in the migration guide'?
A clear migration guide dramatically reduces the friction of deprecation. Without it, teams must figure out the migration themselves — a tax on every team using the deprecated feature. A good guide includes before/after examples, a checklist, and contact information for help.

What does 'teams have 2 sprints to migrate' communicate?
A concrete migration timeline with sufficient notice (not too rushed, not so long teams deprioritize it) is essential for successful deprecation. The platform team communicates the deadline clearly so teams can allocate sprint capacity for migration work.
4 / 5
What is 'the deprecation notice in the platform changelog'?
Deprecation notices in the changelog create a durable, searchable record of the deprecation announcement. Teams who missed the initial communication can find it via search. The changelog entry also documents the decision rationale, improving organizational memory.

What does 'the deprecated feature will be removed in Q3' tell teams?
A concrete removal date converts deprecation from a soft recommendation into a firm deadline. Teams who might otherwise deprioritize migration are forced to plan when they know the feature will stop working. The removal date should be communicated well in advance (typically 3-6 months).
