Why Cloud Migration Readiness Matters
Too many cloud migrations fail not because the technology is wrong, but because the planning was incomplete. Organizations that skip readiness assessment end up with budget overruns, stalled projects, and workloads stranded between on-premises and cloud environments.
This scorecard helps you evaluate your organization's preparedness across the ten critical dimensions that determine migration success. Whether you are considering your first cloud migration or planning your next wave, this assessment will reveal where you stand and where you need to invest before moving forward.
Based on assessments from 100+ regulated industry engagements, this tool provides the same framework our cloud architects use during CirrusLaunch discovery sessions.
How to Use This Scorecard
01
Review each dimension
Read the guiding question and the five maturity level descriptions.
02
Score honestly
Select the level that reflects your current state — not your target state.
03
Record your score
Click the maturity level that best matches your organization right now.
04
Review your results
Your total score and readiness tier are calculated instantly as you go.
05
Follow the 90-day action plan

RESULT
Scoring and Interpretation
Use the interpretation guide below to understand your overall readiness posture and what it means for your migration strategy.
10–19
Critical
Not ready to migrate
Your organization is not ready for cloud migration. Proceeding without significant preparation will result in budget overruns, stalled projects, and potential data loss. Invest in foundational capabilities before creating a migration roadmap.
20–29
At Risk
Significant gaps exist
Significant readiness gaps exist that will create problems during migration. Address the lowest-scoring dimensions first, particularly around data classification, dependencies, and cost modeling. A phased approach with early wins is recommended.
30–39
Developing
Reasonable foundation, gaps remain
Your organization has a reasonable foundation but gaps remain in key areas. Focus on completing application classification, strengthening DR planning, and building cloud team skills. You are close to being ready for a structured migration program.
40–50
Migration Ready
Strong readiness posture
Strong readiness posture. Your organization can proceed with confidence into migration planning. Focus on optimizing your approach, finalizing vendor strategy, and building the detailed roadmap for your first migration wave.

90-Day Action Plan
Regardless of your score, use this phased action plan to systematically improve your migration readiness. Prioritize actions in dimensions where you scored lowest.

Foundation
Complete an application portfolio inventory with ownership, business criticality, and basic dependency mapping.
Identify and classify all sensitive data types (PHI, PCI, PII) with regulatory compliance requirements per workload

Baseline current infrastructure costs by workload to enable accurate TCO comparison
Phase 2
Days 31-60
Analysis
Apply 6R framework classification to all workloads with documented rationale for each disposition
Document network architecture and security policies including hybrid connectivity requirements
Define RTO/RPO requirements per workload and assess current DR capabilities against those targets
Assess team cloud skills and identify training or hiring gaps for the target cloud environment
Phase 3
Days 61–90
Planning
Build TCO models comparing current costs to projected cloud costs for priority migration candidates
Define target-state architecture for the first migration wave including networking and security controls
Finalize cloud vendor strategy with evaluation criteria, negotiation leverage, and multi-cloud considerations
Create sequenced migration roadmap with dependencies, milestones, resource requirements, and rollback plans
