Migrating SharePoint 2007 site to SharePoint 2010

Recently, I had to come up with a strategy to migrate our company's internal SharePoint based website from MOSS 2007 to SharePoint 2010 platform and the following MSDN article made my life so much easy:

There were no custom developed components however there were many major customizations in different sections of the site collection, so we planned to followed the below steps:

1. Prepare the new SharePoint 2010 Farm/Server.
2. Detach the Content Database from the SharePoint 2007 web application.
3. Move the Content Database to the new SQL Server.
4. Create a new Web Application in SharePoint 2010.
5. Attach the Content Database to the new Web Application.
6. Verify data and functionality.
7. Some customizations might/will stop working so you need to fix them or in some cases re-do them.

In short I have to follow the same strategy which I have used for migrating the site from SharePoint 2003 to SharePoint 2007.
