Thank you Sergio
Did you use the PMP Framework to run the project and simply use the SCRUM method for daily team management?

I understood that when you wrote "PMP" you are talking about the PMI Guide. First, SCRUM is a framework that you can use as a method. Second, SCRUM has all the PMI Guide knowledge areas included into it. So, if you use SCRUM as a method then you have all related to each PMI`s PMBOK knowledge areas covered inside it.

Hi Sergio can you describe how you used SCRUM as a component within the transformation? In my former job I transformed large Datacenters to Cloud Environments, and it would be interesting to know how this or something similar, could have been done, using SCRUM

Just to add Scrum is a simple framework which can be adopted to deliver business value fast. It a basic framework which is described by 3 roles, 3 artifcats and 4 cercemonies. On top of this simple framework, you can use your own processes which are needed for the success of any project, it is not necessarily to be software project. Scrum framework can be used where we cannot predict the whole work upfront
