Manage the FinOps Practice
This Domain enables continuous improvement to change and align the entire organization – its people, processes and technology – to adopt FinOps and use technology in ways that create value for the company.
Within this Domain, Capabilities are centered on effective FinOps operation, enablement of the whole organization to get the most value from its FinOps Scopes through improved interaction with all other personas and business functions to support and represent technology use more effectively.
Organizations take action to build and manage an effective FinOps team and culture, using training, tools, assessments, and governance to promote accountability generally across the organization, and specifically with Finance and other disciplines in the organization, which require specific FinOps data or insights to perform their broader duties.
The Capabilities in this Domain will help the organization:
- Establish, manage, and evolve an appropriate FinOps team as technology use evolves and matures
- Establish, processes, policies and workflows so FinOps Personas are able to incorporate FinOps Capabilities into their daily activities
- Create criteria to assess the FinOps Capabilities and set milestones in order to mature an organization’s FinOps practice
- Develop education and training that enables FinOps Personas to collaborate in the practice of FinOps
- Identify tool and service requirements to support their technology use and any activities that align with the organization’s goals as defined in their FinOps Scopes
This Domain directly supports these FinOps Principles:
- Teams need to collaborate
- Everyone takes ownership for their technology usage
- FinOps data should be accessible, timely, and accurate
- FinOps should be enabled centrally
