Databricks Readiness Accelerator · 90-day engagement
A 90-day engagement that baselines your Databricks platform, establishes governance standards, and hands you a sequenced 12-month roadmap, whether you go on to run it internally or continue with a partner.
The Databricks Readiness Accelerator is a fixed 90-day Vivid engagement that baselines a Databricks platform, publishes governance standards, and delivers a sequenced 12-month roadmap. It produces a State of the Estate scorecard at day 30, platform governance standards at day 60, and a roadmap with executive readout at day 90.
Most Databricks platforms have technical capability and governance gaps sitting side by side. You cannot accelerate delivery until you know which use cases are blocked by architecture and which are ready to build, and that is the question this engagement answers.
A full platform scorecard covering Unity Catalog health, identity surfaces, asset inventory, pipeline posture, FinOps baseline, and AI readiness. It is measured at day 30 and re-measured at day 90 to show movement.
Identity and access architecture, Unity Catalog governance design, platform control standards, a FinOps framework, and CI/CD standards: the constitution your platform runs by, published at day 60.
A sequenced get-well and expansion plan with effort sizing, internal versus specialist ownership, dependencies, and expected cost and velocity impact. It is delivered at day 90 alongside an executive readout.
Every Vivid engagement produces something visible by day 30 and something the organization can run by day 90. Leadership therefore has evidence at every checkpoint rather than only at close.
Environment access is established, the team is onboarded, and scope priorities are confirmed, with Vivid operating as a fully integrated extension of your team from the first day.
The State of the Estate scorecard is complete, with quick wins visible, gaps quantified, and the backlog mapped, so leadership has a full picture of where the platform stands.
The governance constitution is drafted and the FinOps framework established, with monthly DBU reporting underway and high-level design patterns reviewed and documented.
New feature playbooks are delivered and enablement sessions are complete, and the 12-month roadmap and executive readout are presented to leadership. The platform is then ready either to run independently or to accelerate.
Every deliverable is formatted for long-term internal use, so no ongoing dependency on Vivid is required to run what gets built here.
This engagement stands alone, and it is also the foundation everything else builds on. You do not need to commit to anything beyond these 90 days to walk away with a governed platform and a sequenced roadmap.
Standards exist in pockets but have not been formalized across the platform. This engagement establishes the constitution and makes it stick.
High-value use cases are waiting on data availability or architecture decisions before any development can start. This engagement unblocks them.
Assessment gives full visibility into what to prioritize and why, and it produces the executive-ready evidence needed to justify Year 2 investment.
New org structure means a clean opportunity to establish platform standards with the right people accountable. Do it now, before patterns calcify.
Each accelerator is scoped and time-boxed, and none requires the others to deliver value. Run them in sequence and the governance and patterns compound.
A fixed 90-day Vivid engagement that baselines a Databricks platform, establishes governance standards, and delivers a sequenced 12-month roadmap with an executive readout.
The engagement runs a fixed 90 days. A State of the Estate scorecard lands at day 30, governance standards at day 60, and the roadmap and executive readout at day 90.
No. Every deliverable is formatted for long-term internal use. The engagement is designed so the platform can be run independently at day 90, or accelerated with a partner if you choose.
Six deliverables: a State of the Estate report, a prioritized gap analysis and get-well plan, platform governance standards, new feature playbooks, a developer delineation and enablement plan, and a 12-month roadmap with executive readout.
