Develop and lead the overall strategy and planning for the Data Migration Project

 To develop and lead the overall strategy and planning for the Data Conversion :

1. Understand the Project Scope: Review the project's objectives, deliverables, and constraints. Identify the source and target systems, data types, and formats involved in the conversion process.
2. Assess Current Data Landscape: Conduct a thorough assessment of the existing data environment, including data sources, structures, and quality. Evaluate the data's completeness, accuracy, and consistency.
3. Identify Stakeholders and Collaborate: Identify key stakeholders involved in the Data Conversion workstream, such as project managers, technical leads, and business analysts. Engage them in the strategy development process to ensure alignment with project goals.
4. Develop Data Conversion Strategy: Create a comprehensive strategy for data conversion, considering aspects such as data extraction, transformation, validation, and loading. Define the tools, techniques, and methodologies to be used for data conversion.
5. Define Conversion Processes and Standards: Establish standard processes and guidelines for data conversion activities, ensuring consistency and efficiency throughout the project. Develop data mapping, data quality, and data governance policies to maintain data integrity and accuracy.
6. Identify Risks and Mitigation Strategies: Analyze potential risks related to data conversion, such as data loss, inaccuracies, or delays. Develop mitigation strategies to address these risks and minimize their impact on the project.
7. Create a Detailed Project Plan: Develop a detailed project plan for the Data Conversion workstream, including timelines, milestones, and resource allocation. Identify dependencies, deliverables, and critical path activities.
8. Monitor and Control Progress: Track the workstream's progress against the baseline plan, ensuring that KPIs are met and addressing any deviations. Regularly report on the workstream's status to stakeholders and project managers.
9. Lead the Data Conversion Team: Provide guidance, support, and leadership to the data conversion team, ensuring that they follow established processes and standards. Encourage collaboration, problem-solving, and continuous improvement within the team.
10. Ensure Smooth Transition and Go-Live: Coordinate with other workstreams, such as the Tariff Billing workstream, to ensure a smooth transition and successful go-live. Provide post-implementation support and address any issues that arise during the conversion process.
