The complexities of a cloud transformation program that involves the migration of 100s or even 1000s of servers can present a significant challenge to program management, and the coordination of IT teams tasked with success and support of these readiness and migration activities. This session outlines AWS's highly repeatable and scalable framework and method that is helping customers get ready for and accelerate execution of their all-in migration or operational readiness for net-new production workloads on AWS.

Staffing Commitment
The Readiness and Planning Engagement is based on an Immersion approach that
requires a core team of customer staff to be available full-time during at least 3 days per
week.
Sessions are recorded to capture a history of discussions and decisions, and enable staff
that are impacted by emergency events to be able to review sessions that they missed.
