migration path
Animals' travel corridor
A migration path is the route taken when moving from one place, system, or state to another.
The term applies both to physical journeys—the migration path of monarch butterflies—and to technology transitions: The company outlined a migration path from legacy software to the new platform.
In technical contexts, it often implies a planned sequence of steps rather than an abrupt change.
