Data migration budgeting and forecasting is one of the most overlooked activities on data migration projects. Its one of the reasons why so many projects overrun or go over budget – they simply lacked the correct budgeting approach from the outset.
As part of our Data Migration Channel (a free educational series with guest experts) we have focused on every aspect of data migration strategy and in Week 7 of the channel one of the team interviewed Dylan Jones to discover his tips for data migration budgeting.
Dylan is the founder of Data Migration Pro and Data Quality Pro so is no stranger to complex data migration initiatives. In this interview he shares practical ideas for budgeting such as:
- The importance of delivering a Pre Migration Impact Assessment
- Why Agile approaches suit more accurate budgeting
- How to make your bid process more successful
- The critical mistake most project leaders make with staff budgeting
