Problem

Scenario

You're planning a pipeline that moves customer and operational data from one CRM to another. Before implementation, you want to identify the main failure points in the migration and the controls that should be built into the pipeline.

Question

What are the biggest risks when migrating data between CRM systems, and how would you mitigate them?

What this tests

  • ETL migration planning across source and target CRM schemas
  • Data modeling mismatches and canonical mapping design
  • Data quality controls and reconciliation strategy
  • Idempotent loading and retry-safe operations
  • Risk assessment for cutover, rollback, and partial failures
