At a high level, the plan is:
- **Install** **SharePoint**

1. Install with topology of your choice in SharePoint 2016 (or use [AutoSPInstaller](https://autospinstaller.com/))
2. Configure Application services

> - Run the wizard (or use script. the community script wasn't ready when Thiago and I was migrating intranet)
> - Configure user profile and its permission configuration (see [msdn](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee721052.aspx))

- **Test Migration**

1. [Install required WSP packages in 2016](/do-you-know-how-to-identify-customizations-on-sharepoint-webs)
2. [Test migrating content database from old to new](/run-test-spcontentdatabase-before-actual-migration)
3. Fix all the missing customizations error in the above step, then do the [content database migration](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff607581%28v=office.16%29.aspx)
4. (Optional) [Migrate services database](/have-you-migrated-your-service-application-databases) (depends on which service applications do you use)

- **Post migration setup**

1. Configure search
   - [Do you use default zone URL in search content source](/use-default-zone-url-in-search-content-source)
   - [Do you add https by extending web application](/extend-web-application-for-https)
   - [Do you fix search with Office App for content preview ? (on premise only)](/fix-search-with-office-app-preview)
2. Configure metadata (optional)

- **Test test** **tes** **t**
- **Go-live migration**

1. [Put old SharePoint into read-only](/do-you-lock-the-sharepoint-content-database-before-making-a-backup)
2. [Refresh content & service database from SP 2013 to 2016](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff607581%28v=office.16%29.aspx)
3. Update DNS
4. Decommission old SharePoint server and database (after 2 weeks when you're confident with the new environment)
