We built a multi-step thought-through process to move the apps and infrastructure of a company to Microsoft Azure.

In the third and final module we take all the documentation and planning and apply it within a Pilot Project on Modernizing an Application. By this step, you should already have the infrastructure in Azure.

The idea of a Pilot is to start small and see if it works because of various factors:

Manage Risk
Quicker implementation
Test with engaged audience
Get Real Feedback
Discover variables
Fail fast
Refine the solution
Spur new ideas
Try new things
Find monetary savings
Validate metrics
Confidence
Prepare for rollout

Trying something on a smaller scale educates you about what works and what doesn’t without the same level of risk that a bigger project would, it's much easier to get permission for smaller projects and they can generate success stories that can be used for vision-casting and gaining momentum.
