Before you begin - AWS Prescriptive Guidance

Before you begin

Confirm that you are ready to proceed with defining project governance for your large migration as follows:

  • Previous phases complete – Defining project governance occurs in the third and final phase of a large migration. If you haven’t already done so, we recommend you complete the assess and mobilize phases. For more information, see the Guide for AWS large migrations.

  • Expertise available – If you are new to a large migration project, have reviewed the available documentation, and would like support, consider engaging with in-house or external subject matter experts to prepare your team.

  • Migration team prepared – Cutovers are likely to occur after regular working hours in order to minimize the impact on the business and users of the application. If this is the case with your project, confirm that the migration team and application owners are aware and prepared for the working schedule.
