But also on stakeholders' objectives and execute risk management efficiently, effectively, and continuously. We`ll put in place the following programme structure:; 1. Steering Committee - Provides overall strategy and direction and, particularly, approves and manages the implementation plan and prioritisation of the project backlog.; 2. Outcomes team - Reviews technical feasibility and maintains the program velocity, which includes implementation alignment, review of priorities etc.; 3. Scrum teams - Focuses on delivery and validation and get direction from the Steering committee and core outcomes team.; Finally, Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD) are essential ingredients of our AWS Big Data implementation. We deploy CI/CD practice in all our projects as needed.

We help organisations migrate their Big Data workloads to the AWS cloud with no more than 3 phases;; Phase 1: We examine organisations current workloads, server types, pipelines and configurations, network topology, security, governance, and compliance requirements etc.; Phase 2: Our solution architects will help identify and design the correct Big Data AWS architecture according to the organisations unique needs.; Phase 3: We start the process of helping migrate applications and data, then perform post-migration validation. Once validated, we go live.
