Problem Statement
Content migration from monolith CMS to headless
Problem Brainstorming: 😇
Brain dump
We are moving from our current content management system to headless CMS. Headless is a new buzz in content industry and I have no clue. I have to find a way to make sure only quality content item goes to headless CMS. Migrating 2000 content items is not making sense to me. Managing this content item have always been a headache. Migration is a costly activity in terms of time and money. Also, I have huge content inventory so it’s really really difficult for me to figure out what is the content item I can use. To be truthful - I even do not know what kind of digital asset I have. It’s a wild wild west
