Lower Run-Rate: Cost controls and platform standards
Reduced Risk: Compliance checkpoints and evidence
What We Deliver Current-State Assessment: capabilities, systems, processes, pain points, and costs. Target State & Principles: operating model, architectural guardrails, KPI objectives. Roadmap & Backlog: value-ranked epics, owners, dependencies, and milestones. Governance & Cadence: steering rhythms, OKRs, and evidence-based reviews. Value & Risk Management: benefits tracking, TCO, risk register, compliance checkpoints. Roadmap Structure Wave 1 – Quick Wins (0–90 days): remove bottlenecks, automate high-friction steps, improve deploy cadence. Wave 2 – Scale (90–180 days): standardize platforms, unify data models, expand observability & KPIs. Wave 3 – Transform (6–18 months): replatform legacy, rewire processes, embed analytics into decisions. Operating Model & Governance Decision Rights: who approves standards, exceptions, and funding. Playbooks: intake → triage → prioritize → deliver → measure → iterate. Scorecards: delivery health, value realization, risk & compliance. Technology & Data Alignment Modernization Guardrails: reference architectures, service boundaries, data contracts. Information Layer: conformed dimensions, metric/semantic layer for consistent KPIs. Integration Strategy: event-driven patterns, queues, APIs, and data synchronization. Financials & Value Realization Business Case: baseline costs and cycle times; benefits hypothesis. Tracking: OKRs, leading/lagging indicators, and benefit realization dashboards. Cost Controls: workload governance, platform quotas, and run-rate visibility. Risk, Security & Compliance Controls in the Plan: identity, secrets, data classification, and audit trails. Readiness Reviews: change control, rollback markers, and evidence capture. Delivery Approach Assess capabilities, systems, processes, and KPIs; confirm constraints & compliance. Design target state, principles, and value-ranked roadmap with owners and milestones. Mobilize transformation office, governance cadences, and scorecards. Execute waves with CI/CD, release markers, and cross-functional squads. Measure & Optimize with dashboards, retros, and quarterly refresh of priorities. FAQs Q: How do you prioritize?
