Case Study 8: Retiring Two Legacy Platforms in Two Months

Published on September 10, 2026 at 6:30 PM

The Challenge
TDC NET was carrying technical debt and licensing cost from legacy tooling that no longer matched how the organization worked.

My Role
Product Manager, Platform Transition

What I Did

  • Built on two separate projects delivered in late 2025 that laid the groundwork for decommissioning
  • Coordinated stakeholder transition activities across affected teams
  • Managed the migration of testing capabilities to a modern platform
  • Led retirement planning for both legacy systems end-to-end

Results

  • HPE PPM decommissioned — May 2026
  • Quality Center decommissioned — June 2026
  • Testing capability fully migrated to Zephyr
  • 2 major enterprise platforms retired in 2 months, on the back of groundwork laid in 2025
