Leading a Brownfield Transformation: The Integrated Plan
An expert course for program leaders who must integrate every workstream of a brownfield transformation (technical conversion, custom code, finance, business partner and data, security, integration, testing and cutover) into one plan with retrofit and freeze rules, iteration goals, measurable quality gates, managed internal and external dependencies, and a defensible go-live decision on a clock. Built for PMO leads, solution architects and test leads at Expert level, with worked Contoso examples from Mock 1 to the go-live weekend, it closes with a quiz on integrated planning, iteration goals, quality gates, dependencies and the go-live decision.
