Who has their "hands on keyboards" making the technical changes?

This done by the customer teams as this is a core principle of how your teams learn through experience.

How do we select the applications for migration?

We will asses your current environment and guide you to choose 1-2 medium complexity apps based on your current cloud migration priorities and drivers. We will then guide you to define the target state architecture and services involved.

What if we don't have a suitable AWS Landing Zone to migrate to?

In preparation for the Migration EBA engagement our senior AWS specialists can deliver a new automated landing zone (LZ) built in Terraform and ready to migrate workloads in 2 weeks. Please contact us for more information and discuss your requirements.

What agile ways of working will we utilise in the engagement?

The execution event is run as an agile sprint with ceremonies. Each team will define their sprint goals, epics and user stories into a backlog during the preparation and utilise a Kanban board in the event. A retrospective will be run post the engagement to identify lessons learnt and next steps to continue your cloud journey and expedite cloud business value. This is part of the EBA methodology engagement we will do with your teams.

How do you ensure leadership buy in?

A senior customer sponsor is a pre requisite for a successful engagement to ensure the goals are aligned to business priorities, and to rally support within the organisation to provide resources and the required cross-functional teams.

What number of participants take part in the 3-day execution sprint?

Typically 5-10 customer participants will take part dependant on your organisation's structure and the specific goals of the engagement.

Can our existing cloud partner take part in the engagement?

Yes, your current partner is welcome and encouraged to participate in the engagement and sprint execution as an extension of your teams.
