Outputs and next steps - AWS Prescriptive Guidance

Outputs and next steps

The outputs from the readiness assessment process for applications include:

  • An out-brief deck that summarizes observations and next steps

  • A meeting scheduled to review outputs and next steps

  • (Optional but recommended) Estimates and a proposal, such as a statement of work (SOW) for the work that needs to be completed, and a clearly defined minimum viable product (MVP) solution for the chosen use case

Upon successful completion of the vision workshop, the extended modernization team should perform a one-week inception engagement to:

  • Align broader stakeholder groups.

  • Define high-level technical solutions for the chosen business outcomes.

  • Develop a modernization roadmap that details MVP development phases and milestones.

  • Begin initial setup of cloud foundations by using landing zone templates and AWS Control Tower automation.

Your organization's senior business and technology leaders will be expected to communicate the vision and set the expectation with the joint execution team. However, the majority of workshops will be focused on the modernization working teams, which should include application owners, technical leads, business owners, and architects.

AWS will engage with your organization’s business development teams to drive technology modernization and to manage your end-to-end needs, including application architecture, design, and development; mobile enablement; testing; and collaborative solutions. These services combine proven processes, intelligent automation, use of data and patterns, open standards, and the right people to help you modernize your legacy applications. Primary goals are targeted to:

  • Assist to develop a platform that offers a fully automated, tools-based approach for modernizing legacy technology, and couple it with holistic knowledge of modernization.

  • Build an MVP with full stack teams, with modernization engineering capabilities focused on customer outcomes and scale.

AWS Professional Services and AWS Partners work directly with senior technology and business customer stakeholders to drive enterprise modernization, while iteratively delivering end-customer value.
