Determining order of performing P2V migrations

What do I need to think about when determining what physical servers should be P2V'd first in a P2V project?  I want to identify low hanging fruit and consider anything else that is important relative to the order of the migrations. 

For example:

-If it is the first Linux box to undergo a P2V, then pick an application with low usage, low criticality and lenient SLA and RPO requirements to get admins feet wet with the process before doing something critical.  (obvious)

-What else should I think about to help determine which applications / Operating Systems to virtualize first?

Thanks!
