Planning

• Planning service: Yes
• How the planning service works: Planning a migration involves several key steps:; ; - Define Goals: Understand the reasons for migrating, cost reduction, scalability, or improved security; - Assess Current Infrastructure: Inventory on-premises applications, data, and workloads to determine migration readiness; - Conduct TCO Analysis: To estimate the total costs involved over the lifecycle of the cloud environment; - Choose the Right Cloud Provider: Evaluate providers based on your specific needs and goals if a strategic decision has not already been made; - Plan Migration Strategy: Decide on a migration approach (rehost, refactor, rearchitect, etc.) and prioritise the migration; ; This service focuses on those complex applications that need refactoring and redeveloping. We typically begin with an Inception Workshop as the starting point for bringing transformational IT ideas to life. In planning a technology project, many organisations struggle to define the initial scoping, resourcing and cost estimates required to secure sign-off from key stakeholders. We help you put the foundations of the project in place so you can gain internal support. The primary objective is to achieve consensus of what the project is hoping to achieve – a collective understanding, not necessarily a collective agreement. This includes exploring risks, removing assumptions and ensuring all viewpoints are understood.
• Planning service works with specific services: No

Training

• Training service provided: Yes
• How the training service works: Every organisation and individual is slightly different with their start point and end goals. Our approach is Assess, Plan, Deliver and Support.; ; We start by assessing your ambition. What level of skills are required? We then build a “role description” of the requirements. This role description is used to self-assess a competency journey. We also assessment relevant complementary skills.; ; A Development Pathway is then created and contains activities, skills and training required to reach the required level of competency.; ; A combination of Coaching, Show-n-Tell, Demonstrations, Guided Self-Study, Role Shadowing and external formal training courses is used to progress the Development Pathway.
• Training is tied to specific services: No

Setup and migration

• Setup or migration service available: Yes
• How the setup or migration service works: The setup and migration for the refactored and/or redeveloped application will be fully managed by IJYI working with your own application and cloud teams is appropriate. ; The project will be run as an agile engagement broken down into sprints. Sprints are typically 2 weeks long. Each sprint will start with sprint planning, have daily standups and complete with a show-n-tell. The user stories, story points, board and backlog will be managed using Azure DevOps or if you have a preference other tools such as Jira can be used. In Agile, requirements are expressed as user stories. A user story is a simple, concise description of a feature from the perspective of an end-user.; Our scrum master and/or project manager will lead and engage with your product owner or business stakeholder. ; ; We always follow best practice in our design and delivery. We can undertake security testing ourselves or work with an independent third party security team. Our team will then work through any vulnerabilities or improvement areas until these are satisfactorily addressed or mitigated. By conducting thorough cloud security testing, organisations can proactively address security gaps and enhance overall protection in their cloud deployments.
• Setup or migration service is for specific cloud services: No

Quality assurance and performance testing

• Quality assurance and performance testing service: Yes
• How the quality assurance and performance testing works: In an Agile software development project, Quality Assurance (QA) and Testing are integral parts of the development process. They are not separate phases but are incorporated throughout the lifecycle of the project.; ; Acceptance Criteria: Each user story has associated acceptance criteria, which are conditions that the story must meet to be considered “done”. ; ; Continuous Testing: Testing in Agile is continuous. As soon as a piece of functionality is implemented, it is tested. This allows for immediate feedback and quick corrections if necessary.; ; QA Involvement: QA specialists are involved from the beginning of the project. They work closely with developers and stakeholders, participate in planning meetings, and help define the acceptance criteria.; ; Iteration Review: At the end of each sprint, the team reviews the work done and looks for ways to improve. This includes a review of the testing and QA processes.; ; The focus is on ensuring quality from the start, with everyone on the team being responsible for quality, and testing being a core part of the development process, not a separate phase. This approach helps to catch and correct issues early, leading to a higher-quality product.
