This approach may also work for you. In our case study, we have spent years getting to a position where we can upgrade or entire platform (3 "monolithic" GUI applications) from 10.2B to 11.7, and (fingers crossed!) we will have achieved this by the end of Q3/early Q4 2020.

This includes one project that is critical to achieving that Q3/Q4 date (replacing some ancient client software running on devices with an ancient, embedded, version of Java that can only talk to a 10.2B [or earlier] AppServer)!
