Adopting a successful FinOps practice requires practitioners to build capability across components of the FinOps Framework and nurture collaboration between finance, engineering, and other key FinOps-related Personas. Successful adoption also requires the support and sponsorship of executives and leadership.
FinOps adoption generally begins via leadership mandate (when leader(s) instructs the organization to implement FinOps), grassroots adoption (an informal, gradual, FinOps adoption by practitioners), or by individual initiative (when individuals gain approval from leadership to form a FinOps team and build the practice).
No matter how they build and adopt FinOps, successful practitioners share their ideas, challenges, and successes with like-minded professionals in the community, as everyone continues to iteratively improve upon their practice after adoption.
