Cloud migrations fail more often from poor planning than poor technology. This course teaches IT professionals a structured approach to assessing, planning, and executing workload migrations to the cloud with minimal disruption.
Most failed cloud migrations trace back to poor assessment and planning rather than technical execution. This course teaches IT professionals a structured, repeatable approach to migration — from workload assessment and the 6 R's framework through cutover planning and post-migration validation.
Using realistic migration case studies, participants build the assessment tools and migration runbooks needed to plan and execute workload moves with minimal business disruption.
Throughout the programme, participants work through realistic scenarios drawn from technology organizations, digital transformation programmes, data-driven enterprises, and public sector IT environments, examining how cloud migration strategies and best practices is applied in practice and where it most often breaks down. Delegates will develop practical skill in designing appropriate frameworks, selecting and applying the right tools for risk management, cutover and rollback design, interpreting findings, and communicating conclusions clearly to colleagues, management and external stakeholders. Sessions move deliberately from principles to application, so that each technique introduced is practised against a realistic problem before the programme moves on — strengthening both individual effectiveness and the wider capability of the organizations delegates return to.
