to your stack & domain

A fixed-scope assessment of one legacy system that ends in a sequenced re-platform plan: audited codebase, target architecture, phased migration roadmap, and a risk and cost model — before any migration work starts.

How this operator works

every way of working, already decided

A · capability focus

Owns the system, not the ticket

Takes end-to-end ownership of a service or surface. Design, delivery, on-call. And is measured on outcomes, not hours.

B · ways of working

Embedded, async-first, instrumented

Works inside your repos, your CI and your rituals. Daily written standups, decisions logged. No status-meeting tax.

C · reliability posture

Runbooks, canaries, reversible deploys

Every change gated and reversible. Incidents get a timeline and a postmortem; nothing ships without a rollback.

D · comms & cadence

Plugged into your Slack & rituals

Joins standups and retros, reports weekly against the goal. You get an operator, not a queue.

E · tooling

Brings a pre-wired stack or adopts yours

Infrastructure and observability as code by default. No bespoke setup tax to absorb.

F · onboarding

Scoped, gated, reversible

Week-1 shadow, week-2 ownership, swap on request inside the trial window. No long-tail handover risk.

Overview

Modernizing a legacy system without disrupting the business starts with knowing exactly what you have. The Modernization Roadmap Sprint audits one legacy application — architecture, dependencies, technical debt hotspots, security exposure — and turns the findings into a sequenced re-platform plan you can execute in phases.

The output favors incremental patterns over risky rewrites: strangler fig replacement, phased cutovers, and blue-green deployments, with technical debt quantified as a business problem rather than an engineering complaint.

What's included

Legacy System Audit

AI-assisted code analysis plus expert review of the current system: architecture, dependency map, debt hotspots, and security vulnerabilities.

Target Architecture

A concrete target design — cloud platform, service boundaries, API strategy — matched to your team and constraints, not a reference diagram.

Sequenced Migration Roadmap

A phased plan ordered by risk and value: what moves first, what gets strangled, what gets retired, and where the zero-downtime cutover points are.

Risk & Cost Model

Effort estimates, dependency risks, and a cost model per phase, so the roadmap can be budgeted and staffed before execution starts.

How it works

Scope — Agree the system boundary, grant read access, and run stakeholder interviews on business constraints and cutover windows.
Build — Assessment and analysis: automated code review, architecture mapping, and drafting of the target design and phased plan.
Handover — A walkthrough of the roadmap with your leadership team, plus the full written plan, risk register, and cost model.

Part of every Delivery Plan

The Modernization Roadmap Sprint is a menu item on the Scrums.com delivery catalog, available at every plan tier. Add it to your plan backlog and your delivery team schedules it like any other item — scoped, tracked, and reported through the SEOP. See Delivery Plan Tiers.

FAQs

Does this sprint touch our production system?

No. The sprint is assessment and planning — it needs read access to code and infrastructure, nothing more. Execution is a separate decision, typically a Re-platform Pod scheduled from the same plan backlog.

How long does it take?

Assessment typically runs 2–4 weeks depending on system size, with roadmap development in the 2–3 weeks after. The scope and timeline are fixed at kickoff.

Are we committed to Scrums.com for the execution?

No. The roadmap is written to be executable by any competent team — your own engineers, Scrums.com, or a mix. There is no lock-in built into the plan.
