Modernizing legacy applications in large companies operating software that spans decades is challenging. The organizational and technical hurdles range from collaboration and alignment to new technical paradigms and workforce up-skilling.

This collection of lessons learned – part one of two – focuses on people and processes. 

These are the organizational lessons learned in migrating legacy applications to microservices shared in this article:

• Develop a team structure (the one that worked for legacy applications won’t work for agile microservices).
• Prepare the field with a small group of trailblazers, then scale to more teams.
• Define an ownership model and RACI for microservices.
• Reorganize high-performing teams with care (they are the treasure of a company).
• Keep a close eye on processes that give the illusion of control (and actually slow down the delivery of value).
• Plan for production-only issues.
• Reserve capacity for innovation.
