Today, IE8 is one year away from the end of security patches and technical support (http://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-to-drop-support-for-older-versions-of-internet-explorer/).

If your organization still develops for IE8, this is an excellent anchor for the beginning of a plan to end that support.

Most development teams I've talked to support IE8 because of a single client they can't turn down. By talking about the looming security issues and development challenges IE8 presents, as well as their plans for moving off XP, you can help inform and move their process forward.

If you've had success migrating off IE8 or talking to a customer/client about the move, please share your experiences!
