The Problem
Removing or changing features causes 30-50% churn among affected users. Users feel betrayed when workflows break.
The Solution
Implement 90-day deprecation process with migration path, alternative solutions, and early adopter incentives.
Implementation Steps
-
1
Announce deprecation 90 days in advance with clear reasoning (technical debt, security, better alternative)
-
2
Provide migration guide with step-by-step instructions to new solution
-
3
Offer 1-on-1 migration assistance for high-value customers
-
4
Create "early adopter" incentive program - users who migrate within 30 days get new feature access first
-
5
Set up dedicated support channel for migration questions
Expected Outcome
Reduce feature deprecation churn from 30-50% to under 10%
