Data migration moves existing data assets into a new operating environment. In a cloud project, its completion date can determine when production data becomes available and when new applications can be deployed. section 4.9
When delivery must begin before migration finishes:
- Confirm the migration date and obtain the permissions needed to set up working environments. section 4.9
- Agree an interim data source with the migration architect and security stakeholders. A one-time copy can support development without taking on the migration project's data-feed dependencies. section 4.9
- Plan separately for production data to provision a suitable test subset, and for development assets to be commissioned into test and production. section 4.9

The environment diagram distinguishes the temporary development copy from the production-to-test provisioning path. section 4.9
