In the context of the Cloud Migration, an Project Manager (we call them ISM) is needed to support the Migration of Applications from Legacy to Cloud environment. The Project Manager (ISM) is responsible of one or several Migration Releases.
The Project Managers (ISMs) are part of the Cloud Migration team, to ensure that the migration of every Application follows the Migration process defined, is done on time and within budget.
Applications belong to several Tribes, meaning that a large amount of stakeholders and contributors across the company, have to be managed.
The Project Manager (ISM) is accountable for the realization of the migration of the Applications in her/his scope. Important part of function is to coordinate progress by the involved teams, anticipate issues and actively suggest solutions.
Together (there are about 6 ISMs) they follow-up closely the progress of each application migration, by agreeing with the tribe on the planning, and then keeping it on track, by triggering kind reminders, status calls, proposing pragmatic solutions in case of problems, etc.
A series of deliverables are defined and part of the Migration Process: Architecture, Security, Release, Testing,…. The ISM ensures availability of all the deliverables, observing scope, quality, costs and deadlines as foreseen in Migration Roadmap.
The ISM ensures that all objectives and requirements are taken into account, monitors and manage all risks related to the project, ensure application of the gating principles at the different project stages. You work pro-actively in and with the teams to make progress, solve hurdles and deliver.
