It's been nearly six months after my initial post on converting procedural teams to Object Oriented teams. After reading all the insightful comments on that post I've compiled a list with 10 steps to migrate your development team to an OO development team successfully.

1. Ask yourself why you want to migrate
2. Make some resources available
3. Make a plan
4. Upgrade the knowledge of the development team
5. Launch a pilot project
6. Evaluate the pilot project
7. Document the lessons learned
8. Upgrade the knowledge of the whole team
9. Spread the knowledge
10. Organize internal workshops

With these 10 steps you are able to successfully migrate your team from a procedural team to an effective OO team. Read on for a detailed explanation of each step.

For many years Object Oriented Programming was rare in the PHP world. Many PHP programmers don’t know OO simply because PHP isn't natively an OO language. But with PHP5, PHP really entered the world of objects.

Still many PHP programmers feel that OO is too much for PHP. They don't see the benefits of object oriented programming. This is the start of a series of blog posts to investigate the topic.
