President Clara Angotti talks to RTInsights about the Essential Roles and Practices for a Successful Cloud Migration

Some of the key roles involved in a cloud migration include:

Executive Stakeholders set and communicate the goals of the project and ensure the objectives are aligned to the organization’s strategic goals. 

Program Managers have a bird’s eye view of the project and oversee governance to ensure that each work package is being performed as planned. 

Solution Leads are responsible for the technical components, such as the common architecture, security, and implementation of the migration.  

Scrum Masters will  monitor the development of the technical teams to ensure their members are producing the required packages of work, and there is nothing that is impeding their progress.

Data Migration Leads are dedicated entirely to data migration planning and all the downstream consuming application planning. 

Cloud Provider Architect represents the cloud partner and is responsible for providing technical guidance for ingestion, security, performance tuning, and optimization. 

Test Engineering Lead oversees the teams responsible for performance testing, system integration testing, and end-to-end testing.
