WorkDay Cloud Migration

The Migration Challenge:

When an enterprise platform moves to a new cloud infrastructure, every integration that touches that platform must be audited, tested, and migrated alongside it. The risk isn't the migration itself — it's the ecosystem of internal tools, business units, and downstream consumers that depend on the platform, with no one tracking those dependencies. Get the inventory wrong, and integrations break silently after cutover.

The Coordination Work:

Migration readiness for a system this connected requires structured discovery across every office and business unit that touches the platform. Each integration owner has to confirm what the integration does, how it's used, and what breaks if the endpoint changes. The PM's job is to make that inventory complete, validated, and signed off — before the cutover date is even on the calendar.

The Cutover:

Zero critical downtime isn't an accident. It's the result of integration audits done early, rollback plans rehearsed, and stakeholders aligned on what "go" looks like and what "no go" looks like. Boring cutovers are the goal — the kind of go-live that ends with a confirmation email instead of a war room.
