Milestone it

Structure your implementation roadmap into 3-4 distinct phases with clear milestones, rather than presenting a monolithic transformation. For example, a Cloud Adoption Program might include: Building Cloud Strategy (1 month), Defining Target Operating Model (1 month), Building Initial Landing Zone (1 month), and Delivering Pilot Migrations (2-3 months). This creates natural checkpoints for evaluation and adjustment, without stakeholders feeling locked into an unchangeable grand plan.
