Many big companies struggling with the new topics as automated delivery, automated testing, consolidating technologies on new platforms or setups. How do I start? How can I convince the upper management to do this step? Do I have a convincing enough business case?

But is it really required to do a big first step? The answer is no! In most of the cases it is way easier to divide the mission in several sub-steps, helping me validating the new approach and also giving the possibility to give feedback to the upper management on regular bases and getting their buy-in.

This procedure is shown on a real case where a Swiss banks development was moved to the public cloud.
