How I Run Mission-Critical Delivery
Enterprise cloud transformation isn't just about technology—it's about predictability, governance, and organizational change management. This is the operating model I deploy to ensure on-time, on-budget execution at scale.
Governance & Cadence
Predictability comes from rhythm. I establish strict governance rituals to surface risks early and keep stakeholders aligned.
Weekly Exec Readout
- RAID Log Review (Red risks only)
- Financial Burn Rate vs Budget
- Key Decisions Required
Technical Design Authority (TDA)
- Review Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)
- Security & Compliance Sign-off
- Pattern Acceptance for Landing Zones
Clear Ownership (RACI)
Ambiguity kills velocity. I define explicit ownership boundaries for every program.
| Activity | Delivery Architect (Me) | App Team Lead | CISO / SecOps |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cloud Landing Zone Design | Accountable (A) | Consulted (C) | Responsible (R) (Sign-off) |
| App Modernization Strategy | Consulted (C) | Accountable (A) | Consulted (C) |
| Production Cutover Decision | Accountable (A) | Responsbile (R) | Informed (I) |
Migration Wave Model
De-risking large-scale migrations by using a "Ring Deployment" strategy.
Non-Critical / Dev
Validate Landing Zone plumbing (Network, Identity). Fail fast, fix fast.
Friendly Production
Low-impact production apps. Validate operational procedures and monitoring.
Mission Critical
High-value workloads. Executed only after Ring 1 sign-off.
