Cloud Migration Wave Planner (Excel)
Application inventory, 6R disposition, wave plan and dependency matrix in one workbook — the planning layer of a cloud migration programme.
Sold and delivered through Etsy; download available immediately after payment. Why Etsy shows a higher number: €24,95 is the price excluding VAT. Etsy is the merchant of record and adds your country’s VAT at checkout, so an EU buyer in the Netherlands pays €30,19 (€24,95 + 21%). Buyers outside the EU are charged their own local rate, or none.
An Excel workbook holding the planning layer of a cloud migration: application inventory, 6R disposition per application, the wave plan and a dependency matrix between applications. It records what moves, in which wave, in what order, and what each move is waiting on. Wave counts and disposition categories are editable.
The hard part of a cloud migration is not any individual move; it is deciding which applications go in which wave, and discovering after wave two that an application you left behind is being called by one you already moved.
The dependency matrix is therefore the tab that earns the workbook. Waves are only safe once you can see which applications talk to each other, and the readiness sheet stops a wave opening before its prerequisites are met.
Who it is for
Migration programme managers, cloud architects and PMOs running an AWS or Azure migration in waves.

Questions
What is the 6R model?
The six common dispositions for an application in a cloud migration — rehost, replatform, repurchase, refactor, retire and retain. The inventory records one per application so the wave plan is built from decisions, not guesses.
Is it AWS-specific or Azure-specific?
Neither. The structure is the same for both, and for hybrid or private-cloud moves.
