Yellowbrick Cloud Migration
Checklist

Establish the project charter, migration scope, and success criteria before execution begins. Define project roles, responsibilities, timelines, risks, and dependencies to ensure teams stay aligned throughout the migration lifecycle.

Prepare the cloud environment and operational framework required to support migration execution. Early planning helps reduce bottlenecks, avoid delays, and create a clear path to cutover readiness.

Identify workloads, prioritize migration waves, and define the code objects included in each phase of execution. Clear workload prioritization ensures translation activities are completed in the right sequence and aligned to business goals.

Validate that all required code and ETL processes are fully accounted for before migration begins. Teams should determine whether ETL pipelines will be migrated or modernized to support long term cloud objectives.

Develop a complete testing strategy early in the migration project to support workload prioritization and validation. Business stakeholders should participate in test case development to ensure success criteria are clearly defined.

Use automation wherever possible to streamline CI/CD pipelines and accelerate validation activities. Thorough testing before cutover helps reduce migration risk and improve cloud readiness.
