Site Owner Checklist for Site Collection Migration to Sharepoint 2013

Question

I am getting ready for a migration from SharePoint 2010 to 2013. I wanted to create a checklist for Site Owners so they can prepare their team sites for migration to the new 2013 platform. Does anyone have a "go to" site or link /article that details the necessary/important steps a Site Owner has to take for migration of Team Sites to SharePoint 2013? I found some but just wanted to know what notes some of you guys had.
