Migration planning involves discovery to map dependencies, assessment to evaluate readiness, wave sequencing to phase the move, and validation after cutover. This Skill structures that end-to-end workflow—discovery, planning, execution, and optimization—with dependency mapping, risk management, and rollback strategies built in.

Cloud-to-cloud migrations require the same structured approach as on-prem to cloud: discovery of existing infrastructure and dependencies, assessment of compatibility, sequenced migration waves, and validation of the target environment. This Skill applies that framework across all migration types.

Dependency mapping identifies which systems must move together; risk management captures failure scenarios and mitigations. This Skill automates discovery templates, assessment reports, and migration plans that surface dependencies and enforce governance controls across phased cutover waves.

Yes. Platform upgrades follow the same migration pattern: discovery, assessment, phased execution, and validation. This Skill handles platform upgrades alongside cloud migrations and data center transitions using unified wave sequencing and artifact generation.

Migration planning generates discovery templates to catalog systems, assessment reports evaluating readiness, migration plans with wave sequencing, and validation reports confirming successful cutover. Governance controls enforce consistency across all artifacts.
