The Requirements Check
for Architecture Modernizations

Identify risks and gaps in your requirements
before the modernization starts

Architecture modernization is risky

Replacing legacy systems, breaking up monoliths, introducing new technologies – sounds like progress.

But without clear requirements, modernization becomes an expensive blind flight. Incomplete requirements, hidden dependencies, and missing stakeholder alignment lead to delays and budget overruns.

In over 20 years in IT, I've seen modernization projects fail due to poor requirements – not technology.

❌ Typical risks in modernizations:

  • β†’ Unclear or incomplete requirements
  • β†’ Hidden dependencies in the legacy system
  • β†’ Missing alignment between business and IT
  • β†’ No clear migration strategy

βœ“ That's why the Requirements Check

A structured risk analysis that uncovers gaps – before they become expensive

The Requirements Check delivers:

A solid foundation for your architecture modernization

βœ“Risk Analysis

Identification of gaps, dependencies, and hidden risks in your current requirements

βœ“Requirements Assessment

Structured analysis of your documentation for completeness and feasibility

βœ“Action Recommendations

Concrete next steps to put your modernization on a solid foundation

Avoid expensive surprisesβ€”
with a risk analysis before the project starts

The Requirements Check is for you if:

Modernization is planned

You're facing an architecture modernization and want to identify risks early

Requirements are unclear

Your requirements are scattered, incomplete, or contradictory

Legacy needs to be replaced

You want to replace a legacy system and need a clear migration plan

Typical projects: Legacy replacement, Monolith split, System migration in the DACH region

What teams say after the Requirements Check

"Martin taught our team Event Modeling quickly, pragmatically, and on short notice. After a few weeks, we could continue modeling independently."

β€” Event Modeling Workshop, February 2026

"We found the workshop super helpful. We realized we had massive gaps in our requirements and documentation."
