A data migration tool is disclosed for allowing a data migration project to be more efficient to execute from the client standpoint. The data migration tool is able to accomplish this by offering an efficient process for receiving the client's data migration requirements and generating a migration schedule based on the client's data migration requirements. The client's data migration requirements may identify one or more migration rules relating the data to be migrated as well as the client's scheduling conflicts. Based on the data migration requirements, the data migration tool can generate a data migration schedule. The data migration schedule may include a sequence in which data entities are migrated, as well as provide migration activities that describe the specific instructions for migrating a data entity.
