dependencies

TOP 3 CONSIDERATIONS FOR PROJECT PLANNING & ONBOARDING


Onboarding: Clearly define the project charter and project scope for
Project the migration.
Planning & Success criteria: Ensure everyone is clear on the business objectives
and goals to ensure expectations are aligned across project teams.

avoid surprises and issues during later phases of the project.

Code requirement and migration activities should be dedicated to:


Determining what workload needs to be migrated
What the priority is
What the underlying code objects are in each wave of the migration

TOP 3 CONSIDERATIONS FOR CODE TRANSLATION


Accuracy: Ensure all required code is clearly identified and accounted
for prior to translation to ensure there are no surprises or bottlenecks
during execution.

migrate or modernize?
Translation
Define priority: Determine what the priority is right away to ensure
translation is executed in the accurate and most efficient order.

Testing is an undervalued and incredibly important aspect for all migration


projects. Companies must make efforts early on in the project to ensure
they efficiently test their migrated workloads prior to cut-over to the cloud
for best results.

TOP 3 CONSIDERATIONS FOR TESTING


Strategy: Develop an end-to-end test strategy at the outset of the
project to know how to prioritize workloads in testing.
Testing: Ensure the business is involved in test case development to
ensure success criteria are clearly marked.
Testing Automation: Use automation as much as possible when creating your
CI/CD pipeline.
