The migration worked. That's not the finish line.
Cutover successful. Users are in the new environment. Permissions transferred. Everything moved, nothing broken.
And then, a few months later: collaboration spaces no one can account for, retention schedules no one is enforcing, and storage costs no one forecasted.
Migration gets you to a new platform. Governance is what keeps you there sustainably. Without an operating model in place, three things tend to happen fast: sprawl quietly grows, compliance stalls between planning and enforcement, and storage costs creep until finance flags it.
None of these are platform failures. They're operating model failures. And they're predictable enough to get ahead of if you're thinking about governance before the post-migration honeymoon ends.
