Capability overview
Built around a verifiable operating model.
CutoverGrid converts assessment findings into migration waves that engineering teams can execute. A wave is not an arbitrary batch of repositories; it is a bounded unit of technical change with explicit prerequisites, dependencies, owners, tasks, acceptance criteria, validation steps, observation windows, and rollback conditions. Shared packages and platform foundations are sequenced before the services that depend on them.
Tasks retain their evidence lineage and operational context. Service owners see why the work exists, which components it affects, what must already be complete, and which proof closes it. Platform teams can manage shared blockers across repositories, while migration leaders see readiness and capacity at wave level instead of tracking disconnected tickets in several tools.
How it works
From source context to operational control.
Sequence
Apply dependency, criticality, capacity, and learning constraints.
Assign
Connect work to owners, due dates, acceptance criteria, and workflow systems.
Gate
Advance only when prerequisites and validation evidence satisfy the wave conditions.
Evidence produced
Every decision remains inspectable.
The capability produces structured evidence that can be reviewed by engineers and reused by downstream planning and verification.
Prerequisites
Upstream packages, environments, decisions, and platform capabilities.
Owned tasks
Responsible team, scope, technical evidence, and acceptance criteria.
Validation plan
Tests, performance thresholds, smoke checks, and observation requirements.
Recovery plan
Rollback artifacts, trigger conditions, authority, and maximum recovery time.
Operational impact
Why this capability matters.
Migration waves turn a large modernization target into a sequence of controlled decisions. Teams learn from lower-risk movement before critical systems cut over, and program owners can see where evidence, ownership, or dependency constraints prevent the next wave from starting.
