If you don’t go through the BCS Bookstore please check you are not being sold earlier editions. Great though they were when they were written, only Practical Data Migration 3rd edition captures the impact of changing technology and current best practice.
Practical Data Migration, from its inception, is vendor and technology independent and comes in Agile or Traditional waterfall variants. It links to any proprietary migration methods (ASAP, KANBAN, DMF etc.) and to PRINCE and other programme management methods. It scales from a few users in one location to global roll outs across millions of end points.
So if you are faced with a project that has a hefty amount of data migration in it, Practical Data Migration (or PDM as we affectionately call it) is a good place to start
“I have no hesitation in recommending the Practical Data Migration approach to any Programme Manager whose programme success depends heavily on data migration.”
