Engagement Journey · 02 of 3
By Capability
The same journey as each capability runs it, and who does what in each phase.
One journey, six capabilities
- DevSecOpsSECURE: Scan → Evolve
- Cloud migrationLanding zone → waves → hyper-care
- Platform engineeringMVP on 2–3 pilot apps
- DataOpsGo or no-go at every gate
- FinOpsAssess → pilot → launch
- AI & agentsPoC → production
01
The Journey in Each Capability
The same five phases, as each NGT offering names its steps.
| Capability | Steps as NGT runs them | Gates and durations |
|---|---|---|
| DevSecOps (SECURE) | Scan → Evaluate → Collaborate → Upskill → Respond → Evolve | Scan 2–3 wks · Evaluate 1–2 · Collaborate 4–8 · Upskill 2–6 · Respond 2–4 |
| Cloud migration | Assess → landing zone → pilot → waves → go-live → hyper-care | Hyper-care after each wave, then hand-over to AMS |
| Platform engineering | Assess → plan → pilot → implement and optimise | MVP on 2–3 pilot apps; training closes the pilot |
| DataOps | Discover → assess → design → implement → operate | Go or no-go at every gate |
| FinOps | Assess → plan and propose → pilot → launch | Review, adjust, align, comply |
| AI & agents | Assess → MVP / PoC → plan → implement → operate | Production only after the PoC gate is passed |

Big Bang or Phase by Phase
Lessons NGT's offerings carry from earlier programmes.
A big-bang programme NGT's phase-gated journey
Starting point✕A list of requirements✓A scored current state and an agreed target
Proof✕Shown at the end✓An early MVP or PoC: fail fast, re-estimate
Rollout✕Every team at once✓One delivery centre or 2–3 pilot apps, then roll out
Estimates✕Fixed before anything is known✓Planned after the PoC, from evidence
Done✕Go-live✓Target level reached, your team able to run it
