Tips for Undergoing Modernization
“Modernization” is a journey, not a destination. You never arrive.
 Changing everything at once is painful
 Be targeted about your objectives
 Document and share your assumptions
 Be ready to adapt when your assumptions are wrong
 It is probably going to take longer than you think
 Keep track of your technical debt and keep management aware
 Today’s modernization is tomorrow’s legacy
