Cloud Migration Checklist

A comprehensive workbook that walks teams through every cloud migration milestone with owners, tasks, and success checks.

Take the guesswork out of cloud migration

The checklist distils proven migration playbooks into a structured flow covering discovery, planning, landing zones, security, execution, and post-cutover optimisation so every stakeholder knows what comes next.

  • Break the migration journey into six core phases plus best-practice guidance.
  • Track owners, task status, and acceptance criteria directly in the workbook.
  • Ensure compliance, security, and cost governance stay front-and-centre throughout.

What's inside

  • Discovery and assessment prompts to clarify drivers, catalogue applications, and baseline performance.
  • Planning artefacts for defining migration waves, downtime windows, rollback plans, and KPIs.
  • Landing zone setup checks covering account structures, IAM, networking, logging, and automation.
  • Security and compliance controls mapped to common frameworks such as GDPR, ISO 27001, and SOC 2.
  • Execution runbooks for pilots, data transfer, validation testing, and decommissioning legacy systems.
  • Post-cutover optimisation actions to tune performance, manage spend, and institutionalise learnings.

Who it's for

Technology leaders, programme managers, and cloud architects orchestrating migrations across regulated or rapidly scaling organisations.

  • Organisations planning a first migration to Azure, AWS, or GCP and wanting a repeatable blueprint.
  • Teams modernising legacy platforms while maintaining strict uptime and compliance commitments.
  • Enterprises coordinating cross-functional migration squads that need a shared source of truth.

How to use the checklist

  1. Share it with project sponsors, delivery leads, and vendor partners during planning workshops.
  2. Use the built-in RACI grid to assign accountable owners for every milestone.
  3. Update the status tracker weekly to highlight blockers before they become critical.

Pair the checklist with our Cloud Advisory Sprint to accelerate roadmapping and readiness reviews.
