With Umbraco 17 now available, the temptation to upgrade can be strong after all, it has new features and new performance gains, but upgrading isn't always the right choice, and sticking with your current version isn't always the wrong one.

Each project has its own budgets, integrations, risk tolerance, developer capacity, and long-term business goals, all of which shape what "the right path" looks like.
In this talk, we'll explore the full spectrum of options for maintaining an Umbraco site, from staying on the project's current major version to upgrading thoughtfully or even rewriting when it truly makes sense.
