Making big changes feel small
summary
A practical playbook for rolling out infrastructure change: migrate to AWS Single Sign‑On first while explicitly deferring a full permissions rewrite, so users switch authentication before roles are reshaped; replace IAM user CLI workflows with SSO logins, document the new commands and set deadline windows, and proactively own missing processes (team IAM requests, SOC evidence) until others are onboarded. Expect more support tickets if you bundle changes; staging the scope and collaborating with skeptical engineers and managers keeps troubleshooting small and the rollout successful.
