Conduct the Data migration strategy workshop
The Data migration strategy workshop will be facilitated by the solution architect who will frame the discussions, but the expectation is that the implementation team will present the data migration information.
Each section of the agenda should be assigned an owner within the implementation team.
Preparing and completing the presentation template for the workshop will allow for richer discussions that often result in clear adjustment actions to take. A main goal of the Data migration strategy workshop is to reflect on the entire strategy and then determine the necessary adjustments to make to avoid identified issues or risks. It is important to arrive to the sessions with a growth mindset, which encourages candid, constructive, and honest exchanges.
Data migration strategy workshop outputs
The Data migration strategy workshop's main output is a workshop summary that highlights the key findings and recommendations that are presented during the session.
Throughout the sessions, we recommend that you note the identified actions by using the dedicated PowerPoint presentation slide (for example). This approach will allow the implementation team to follow up with the relevant attendee(s) and respond in the most efficient manner, based on the related subject.
The final presentation, including the actions that are listed during the session, should be distributed to all parties who participated in the workshop, including the implementation leadership and the executive sponsors in both organizations. This approach will ensure that everyone is in alignment on the items that were discussed and on the following adjustment actions to take.
Data migration is a topic that will be discussed in several different phases of a project. The plans will likely fluctuate as you learn more about the idiosyncrasies of the different data for the project.
