I would suggest providing stakeholders with a detailed rollback plan in case of an upgrade failure or issue, along with a clear timeline. This ensures that stakeholders are aware of how to revert to a functional state if things do not go as planned. Additionally, inform the stakeholders that you have backups of the devices in place, as well as spare devices ready. If the issue arises at the hardware level, share the timeline for hardware availability in case of it's not at the site ,to ensure preparedness. Finally, create a group of stakeholder representatives from each domain to perform checks after the upgrade. This approach ensures that we have both pre-assessment and post-assessment outcomes for comparison and validation.
