The Sector7 Stage Two Assessment provides a sound second step for a successful migration effort.
Cost: Ascertained as part of Stage One Assessment and included in Stage One Assessment Report.
Process: Migration Planning.
Description: During the Stage Two Assessment (Planning Stage) we review unresolved issues from the Stage One Assessment. Then all the tasks for the project are entered into a very detailed project plan. Completion criteria are developed during this Stage of work.
Objective: Provide a Detailed Assessment to determine a fixed price and duration for a migration project. This is the planning stage.
Prerequisite: Stage One Assessment
Time-Line
The
Stage Two Assessment obviously relies on the completion of all the elements
of the Stage One Assessment. Shown below is an outline indication of the expected
time taken for each element based on previous experience. Due to the fact
that no two migration clients are the same, and possible geographical/time-zone
differences, these should be used for guidance only. Time shown is measured
in units of working days.

will be prepared and supplied to the client. The SOW describes the
tasks and deliverables that should be expected.
