I've been tasked with upgrading SSRS 2008 to 2012 or 2014. Do you guys have any recommendations for this? I took a look at depreciated features but do you have any other recommendations?

Yeah, I'd get the Upgrade Advisor from Microsoft and run that against your systems. That will give you the most important information, anything you have in your 2008 systems that just won't work. After that, it's just testing it against your apps. No real shortcuts there.
I wouldn't recommend going to 2012. The licensing costs between 2012 & 2014 are about the same, and, both higher than the old 2008 costs. So if you're going to pay for the upgrade, and do the work, might as well reap the most benefits and go all the way to 2014. Plus, most of the functionality you'd want 2012 for works better in 2014.

Thanks. I forgot about the Upgrade Advisor.
