Cloud migration business case deck built for the committee
An editable deck structure for taking a migration or DR programme to an executive committee.
What this covers.
The slide structure we use when a migration needs approval: current-state cost and risk, target architecture, migration waves, downtime exposure, and a cost model that separates one-off migration spend from steady-state run cost. Placeholders are marked so your numbers replace ours.
Cost model split
One-off migration cost and steady-state run cost shown separately, with sensitivity ranges.
Risk framed as exposure
Downtime, recovery objectives and compliance stated in business terms.
Wave plan
Applications grouped into waves by dependency and risk, with a decision gate per wave.
Section by section.
Current state
Cost, risk and constraint summary in language an executive team uses.
Target architecture
Landing zone, resilience design and recovery objectives.
Migration waves
Sequencing, dependencies and decision gates.
Financials
Migration cost, run cost, and the assumptions behind both.
Three things you can act on.
- A deck structure that survives executive scrutiny
- A cost model that separates project from run
- Risk stated as exposure, not as technology detail
The detail before you ask for it.
