Migration feasibility checklist for IT leaders

Feasibility is a prioritization question that comes before strategy. The five-question check produces a "now, later, or fix blockers first", before anyone touches a target architecture. Strategy earns its place once feasibility returns "now." Feasibility comes before strategy. Before anyone designs a target architecture, builds a runbook, or commits to a multicloud operating model, the question is whether the migration is the right move now, and what would make it fail.
