21-Point VMware Migration Assessment Checklist

This document is a checklist designed to assist in the assessment of VMware migration readiness. It consists of 21 questions divided into four main sections: Discovery and Data Fidelity, Dependency Mapping and Risk, TCO, Strategy, and Funding, and Readiness, Execution, and Day 2 Operations. Each question prompts the user to evaluate their current status regarding various aspects of their VMware environment, such as inventory completeness, automation, workload dependencies, total cost of ownership (TCO), and migration strategies. The checklist also emphasizes the importance of capturing evidence for each response, which may include inventory exports, dependency maps, and cost models. The objective is to ensure that organizations can effectively transition from assessment to execution, addressing any gaps identified during the evaluation process. The document aims to provide a structured approach to facilitate a smooth migration process.
