Hi there,  
I am relatively new the the Ansible community , and would like to get some confirmation from more experienced people regarding upgrades . I have inherited an outdated ansible deployment ( 3.3.2 ) which I would like to get upgraded to the latest release .  
From the release notes of the various version , I have derived the following upgrade path, but some people inside my company are telling me we have to go through all the minor and major release upgrades ( about 25 ) … So I would like to hear from you guys what is the best approach and if the propose upgrade path is realistic .  
Thank you for helping me out with this matter 😉

Running 3.3.2

First upgrade to 3.5  
Second upgrade to 3.7  
Last upgrade to 3.8

See the doc from the release notes I used to come with this upgrade path , maybe I am missing something !

According to upgrade guide release notes 3.8 , you have to be running at least 3.6 before jumping to 3.8

According to upgrade guide release notes 3.7 , you have to be running at least 3.5 before jumping to 3.7

ð [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-tower/3.7.0/html/upgrade-migration-guide/](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-tower/3.7.0/html/upgrade-migration-guide/)

According to upgrade guide release notes of 3.5 , you have to be running at least 3.1 before jumping to 3.5
