    How to use this site

    Most teams get value by running the assessment first, then using the roadmap to sequence work.

    1

    Decide your goal

    Speed, reliability, security, compliance, or platform scale.

    "If you're not aligned on the goal, the rest becomes bikeshedding."

    2

    Baseline honestly

    Answer what you do today, not what you wish you did.

    3

    Sequence the work

    Use the roadmap phases to reduce risk and avoid rework.
