Uses a platform team plus on-call migration experts, open sources the automation tools used, and tracks progress with a migration dashboard. Covers concrete strategies—lift-and-shift, replatform, refactor—and recommends finishing pragmatically, noting tradeoffs and where technical debt accumulates.
