The trick to making decommissioning legacy a safe, effective experience – that can even be fun!
As much as we all like to play with shiny new things, the chances are you’ll be surrounded by a fair amount of legacy tech (unless you’re at a start-up). Decommissioning this safely can be a mammoth task and requires enlisting the help of many people who may not be interested in what you’re doing – unless, of course, you break something. Motivating others to help with changes where a successful launch results in no visible impact – other than reducing risks people may not be aware of – is hard.
