Stalled cloud migrations can undermine cloud adoption’s business value. In this post for the AWS Cloud Operations and Migrations Blog, I look at five big pitfalls every cloud migration leader should be aware of. The good news is you can spot these issues early and mitigate them to avoid a stall. The key takeaways to pave the way for a smoother migration experience include: 1) Validate migration mandate with technology and business teams prior to migration kickoff. 2) Baseline the migration scope and formalize project change control. 3) Align top-down objectives and technical strategy. 4) Build an effective escalation path from day one. 5) Agree key project control mechanisms to enable smoother migration.
