Implementation Roadmap Template

Phase 1: Assessment (Week 1-2)

• Analyze current architecture and requirements
• Evaluate provider options against requirements
• Conduct cost analysis and ROI calculation
• Create detailed implementation plan

Phase 2: Setup (Week 3-4)

• Create provider accounts and projects
• Configure authentication and authorization
• Setup monitoring and alerting
• Document architecture and access procedures

Phase 3: Development (Week 5-12)

• Implement application with BaaS services
• Build integrations between services
• Test security and compliance requirements
• Establish backup and disaster recovery

Phase 4: Testing (Week 13-16)
