/migrate team — Generate Team Composition

/migrate team — Generate Team Composition

Recommend team composition (roles, headcount, allocation, cost projections) based on the migration estimate, complexity, and timeline.

Instructions

1. Load All Data

Load data from MCP tools first, falling back to JSON files:

1. Call get_assessment with project_path (current working directory). Fall back to .migration/assessment.json.
2. Call get_estimate with the assessment ID. Fall back to .migration/estimate.json.
3. Call get_composed_heuristics with assessment ID and type: "roles". Fall back to reading skills/migrate-knowledge/heuristics/base-effort-hours.json for role definitions.
4. Call get_analysis with the assessment ID. Fall back to .migration/analysis.json. Needed for active multipliers and risk data.
5. Optionally call get_client_proficiencies with the client ID (if assessment has client_id). Used to flag skill gaps and estimate adoption hours.

If estimate data is unavailable from both MCP and JSON, inform the user and suggest running /migrate estimate first.

2. Generate Team Recommendation

Role Aggregation

For each role referenced in the estimate's by_role breakdowns:

1. Sum total hours across all components and phases
2. Look up role definition from heuristics (description, typical rate range)
3. Calculate per-phase hours from the phase breakdown

Headcount Calculation

Per role, per phase:

• headcount = ceil(rolePhaseHours / (40 * 0.8 * phaseWeeks))
• 0.8 factor accounts for meetings, context switching, etc.
• Phase duration derived from estimate phase data

Allocation & Seniority

Condition	Allocation
< 80h total	Contractor
< 160h total	Part-time
>= 160h total	Full-time

Condition	Seniority
High complexity multipliers active	Senior
< 40h total	Junior
Default	Mid

Cost Projection

For each role:

• Parse rate range from heuristic definitions (e.g., "$150-200/hr")
• Low = min_rate * hours
• Expected = midpoint_rate * hours
• High = max_rate * hours

Aggregate across all roles for total cost projection.

Phase Staffing

Build a per-phase view showing:

• Which roles are active in each phase
• Headcount per role per phase
• Total team size per phase

Hiring Notes

Flag:

• Roles needed for < 4 weeks (contractor candidates)
• Skill gaps identified from client proficiencies
• Roles with high multiplier complexity (may need senior hire)
• Roles that span all phases (core team candidates)

3. Save to Database

Call save_team_snapshot with:

• assessment_id: The assessment ID
• estimate_version: The estimate version used as input
• roles: Array of team role recommendations
• assumptions: Key assumptions about team availability, rates, etc.
• cost_projection: { low, expected, high, byRole }
• phase_staffing: Per-phase headcount breakdown
• hiring_notes: Flagged observations

The MCP tool handles versioning automatically.

4. Write Output File

Create .migration/deliverables/team-composition.json with the full team recommendation:

{
  "assessment_id": "...",
  "estimate_version": 1,
  "generated_at": "ISO timestamp",
  "roles": [...],
  "cost_projection": { "low": 0, "expected": 0, "high": 0, "byRole": {} },
  "phase_staffing": [...],
  "hiring_notes": [...],
  "assumptions": {}
}

5. Present Results

Display a formatted team summary:

Phase Staffing
──────────────
Phase 1 (Assessment):  3 people — Architect, PM, DevOps
Phase 2 (Build):       5 people — +2 Sitecore Devs
Phase 3 (Migration):   6 people — +QA
Phase 4 (Validation):  4 people — -1 Dev, -DevOps
Phase 5 (Cutover):     3 people — Core team only

Hiring Notes
────────────
⚠ QA Engineer needed for only 4 weeks — consider contractor
⚠ Client team has no Azure experience — budget for ramp-up
✓ Cloud Architect spans all phases — recommend dedicated hire

• Suggest viewing in the web UI at /planning/?assessment={id}&tab=team
• Note that rates are estimates and should be adjusted for the specific market/region

Gate Check (Pre-Step)

Before generating the team recommendation, check if the assessment has challenge_required: true. If so, call get_challenge_reviews for the estimate step. If no review exists with status passed or conditional_pass, inform the user:

This assessment requires challenge reviews before advancing. Run /migrate challenge estimate first to validate estimate quality, then re-run /migrate team.
