Those can have long lives but look to shut down unused capabilities</li><li>Your new projects, where applicable, should be data mesh data products. But a large percent aren't going to be that at the start. Figure out some incentives for people to push their new data products to your mesh platform early if possible</li><li>You should not look to lift and shift data projects/assets/products unless it is truly easy for all users - producers and consumers - lift and shift sounds great but it doesn't work well in all but the rarest of cases</li><li>Be prepared for people to get concerned about having to migrate early - communicate strongly that you aren't forcing migrations of existing data work</li></ol><br/><p>Please Rate and Review us on your podcast app of choice!</p><p>If you want to be a guest or give feedback (suggestions for topics, comments, etc.), please see <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WkXLhSH7mnbjfTChD0uuYeIF5Tj0UBLUP4Jvl20Ym10/edit?usp=sharing" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a></p><p>Episode list and links to all available episode transcripts <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZmCIinVgIm0xjIVFpL9jMtCiOlBQ7LbvLmtmb0FKcQc/edit?usp=sharing" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p>Provided as a free resource by Data Mesh Understanding / Scott Hirleman.
