Leveraging Agile for Large-Scale Cloud Migration Projects

Cloud migration has become a strategic necessity for enterprises seeking scalability, flexibility, and cost efficiency in their IT infrastructure. However, large-scale cloud migration projects often face numerous challenges, such as technical complexities, high risks, and the need for quick adaptation to changing requirements. This paper explores the adoption of Agile methodologies in cloud migration initiatives and investigates how these practices can be effectively integrated to enhance the success of such projects. By employing a case study approach, this research identifies critical success factors, such as iterative planning, cross-functional collaboration, and continuous feedback, which are central to Agile practices. The study demonstrates how Agile can address common challenges in cloud migration, including resource allocation, stakeholder engagement, and change management. Key findings suggest that Agile enhances project flexibility, reduces migration risks, and leads to more predictable outcomes.
