Inside the ZIP
A complete assessment pack you can adapt
Use the materials as a structured starting point, then tune the assumptions and recommendations to the client environment. The kit supports expert judgment; it does not replace it.
Semantics and risk guide
Practical guidance for delivery guarantees, ordering, retries, idempotency, and bridge controls.
Executive findings deck
A polished, editable structure for presenting recommendations, risks, and next steps.
Discovery collector
A standard-library collector and sample data to accelerate evidence gathering from MQ estates.
How to use it
From estate inventory to a decision stakeholders can review
The method makes the reasoning visible: evidence, assumptions, hard gates, scores, recommendations, and delivery sequencing remain open for challenge and revision.
- 01
Collect evidence
Inventory the interfaces in scope and capture the operational and semantic facts that matter.
- 02
Facilitate the decision
Apply transparent weights, hard gates, and engineering judgment to compare keep, bridge, and move.
- 03
Present a wave plan
Turn the recommendation into a reviewable roadmap, risk register, and executive conversation.
Best fit
Built for practitioners with an active modernization question
- Independent or boutique IBM MQ and Kafka consultants
- Enterprise architects and hands-on migration leads
- Teams preparing an assessment, workshop, or funding decision
Clear boundaries
A facilitation framework, not an automated migration verdict
This is not beginner platform training, implementation software, or a substitute for validating assumptions against your own workload, connector version, and non-functional requirements.
Your evidence and engineering judgment stay in control.
