Migration Factory

1. Standardize the wave​

Every migration wave should use the same lifecycle:

Candidate → Assess → Design → Build → Test → Reconcile → Cutover → Hypercare → Retire

2. Wave template​

Capture:

  • workload ID
  • business owner
  • technical owner
  • source
  • target
  • objects
  • dependencies
  • migration pattern
  • data volume
  • SLA
  • security classification
  • test evidence
  • cutover window
  • rollback trigger
  • retirement date

3. Factory teams​

A scalable program separates:

  • architecture
  • source/integration engineering
  • modeling
  • security/governance
  • testing/reconciliation
  • release management
  • operations
  • business acceptance

4. Reusable controls​

Create reusable templates for:

  • source assessment
  • object mapping
  • semantic mapping
  • reconciliation
  • performance testing
  • cutover
  • rollback
  • operational handover

The goal is predictable execution, not merely faster development.

5. Quality gate​

No wave is production-ready until business, technical, security, operational, and rollback gates are all green.
