Estimating the code conversion component for a full migration project

One of the challenges in embarking upon a large migration project is estimating. Frequently, there are no comparative in-house projects and no experience in undertaking these specific kinds of projects. This is where ITerative can help.

To a large extent, the overall end-to-end migration project is similar to a standard software development project. The key differences are obviously in the development component of the SDLC. Just exactly how much less effort is involved when the code is simply converted? What are the key metrics appropriate for estimating it? ITerative works directly with your project team to guide them in accurately sizing the code conversion component for the full migration project.

Key objectives of this service include:

• Assist in identifying all inputs required for estimating the code conversion component of the project
• Identify the appropriate metrics to gather
• Produce an estimate of effort required to deliver major code conversion related milestones                       

The specific deliverables of the service include:

• Preparatory briefing documents and lists to expedite input collection
• On-site estimating workshops
• Code conversion effort estimate report

The service is delivered by an experienced ITerative Project Manager and the service is individually tailored for your migration project and a proposal developed to reflect your specific circumstances. This estimation service typically has an elapsed duration of 5 days dependant upon the overall size of the code conversion.
