Why migration plans miss their window

Teams estimate using nominal bandwidth and ignore overhead, contention, and unstable links. The plan looks fine; execution overruns.

Model then measure

First estimate duration from payload size and realistic throughput assumptions. Then run diagnostics to validate whether that throughput is actually achievable in your environment.

Use conservative buffers

Set an optimistic and conservative timeline. Stakeholders forgive early completion; they rarely forgive repeated slip.
