Cloud migration assessment
Prepare an Atlassian Cloud migration
A successful migration is not just a data move. Teams must decide what to keep, transform or retire, verify apps and integrations, prepare identities and organize testing, cutover and post-migration support.
- Inventory and dependencies
- Scenarios and trade-offs
- Actionable migration plan
When to use it
Secure the decisions before committing to migration waves
- You need to leave Data Center or consolidate several Cloud sites without a complete dependency view.
- Marketplace apps, scripts or integrations make functional equivalence uncertain.
- Security, compliance, identity or data-residency constraints need explicit decisions.
- A schedule is expected while volumes, ownership and acceptance criteria remain unstable.
Analysis areas
Connect technology, usage and migration delivery
The assessment is adapted to the relevant products and instances. It can cover the following areas.
Instances and data
Products, projects, spaces, attachments, histories, volumes, archives, quality and retention rules.
Apps and functional gaps
Cloud compatibility, alternatives, app data, dependencies and transform-or-retire decisions.
Identity and security
Domains, accounts, groups, SSO, provisioning, roles, external access and compliance requirements.
Integrations and automations
APIs, webhooks, scripts, CI/CD, directories, business tools and cross-organization flows.
Migration strategy
Pilot, waves, testing, rehearsals, go/no-go criteria, cutover, rollback and hypercare.
Organization and adoption
Ownership, communication, training, support and administrator readiness.
Expected outcome
A shared basis for decisions, estimates and planning
- Readiness report with dependencies, unknowns and blockers.
- Compared migration scenarios and required decisions.
- Risk register and conditions for progressing between stages.
- Proposed path covering pilot, waves, tests, cutover and hypercare.
- Assumptions needed to build a reliable proposal and schedule.
Approach
Reduce unknowns before promising a date
-
Inventory
Gather products, volumes, apps, integrations, identities and known constraints.
-
Qualify
Identify gaps, dependencies, owners and missing information.
-
Compare
Build and challenge realistic migration scenarios.
-
Plan
Propose stages, validations and decisions required before execution.
Controlled scope
Assessment and migration remain separate scopes
The assessment prepares the decision and plan. Test migrations, remediation, development and production operations are scoped separately from the validated findings.
