Use case

Platform modernisation roadmap

Build a realistic plan to modernise platforms without disrupting delivery: align stakeholders, define target architecture, sequence migration work, and establish governance that keeps risk under control.

Overview

This use case is a fit when delivery teams need to modernise systems (platform, data, integrations, cloud) but lack a single, agreed plan. The goal is to create a roadmap that is executable, measured, and governed.

When it helps

  • Multiple stakeholders, unclear priorities
  • High dependency and integration complexity
  • Cloud migration and platform change happening in parallel

What “good” looks like

  • Target architecture and principles agreed
  • Sequenced roadmap with owners and milestones
  • Risks tracked with mitigation actions

Example measures

  • Lead time from decision to delivery milestone
  • Number of high-risk dependencies with mitigation
  • Migration wave success rate (rework / rollback events)

Illustrative measures, tailored per organisation.

Typical deliverables

  • Modernisation roadmap and milestone plan
  • Decision log and architecture principles
  • Risk register and governance cadence
