Example Output
Technology Maturity Assessment Summary:
- Current: Infrastructure 2/5 (legacy data centers), Applications 2/5 (monolithic), Data 2/5 (siloed), Skills 2/5 (waterfall-heavy), Governance 3/5
- Target: 4/5 across all dimensions
- Gap: Significant cloud adoption, microservices, modern analytics, Agile skills needed
Phased Roadmap (36 months):
- Phase 1 (Months 1-6): Infrastructure foundation — cloud setup, CI/CD pipeline, containerization proof-of-concept
- Phase 2 (Months 7-18): Application modernization — decompose 3 critical monoliths, lift-and-shift legacy systems
- Phase 3 (Months 19-30): Data platform — unified analytics layer, real-time data streaming
- Phase 4 (Months 31-36): Organizational scaling — Agile maturity, platform engineering, ops automation
Executive Summary: 5-year cost savings of $15M, 40% faster time-to-market, 50% reduction in system incidents, ROI breakeven by Month 24.
