Legacy modernization discovery

Requirements recovered from the estate and from observed execution instead of assembled through interviews.

Blueprint

We are replacing a system that is not fully understood, and discovery is consuming the program.

What Pyze Measures

  • Application configuration and embedded business rules
  • Screen and field-level execution inside the legacy platform
  • Which rules are still in force and which are dead
  • Work performed outside the system that the replacement must absorb

Typical Findings

  • Rules no longer in effect that a rebuild would faithfully reproduce
  • Work governed by no rule that a rebuild would silently omit
  • The gap between what the system enforces and what the business does

Outcome

Shorter discovery, with each requirement traced to evidence rather than to a workshop attendee.

Apply This to Your Operations

Six weeks from instrumentation to a priced opportunity register, with the baseline left in place to measure what the change recovered.
