Co-creation effort during workshop Microsoft offsite defines projects necessary to support defined strategy and updates “living” cloud lifecycle roadmap
Revisiting your cloud goals
Your cloud adoption lifecycle Execute Outcomes and Benefits Analysis Optimize and Innovate Cloud Strategy Lifecycle Roadmap Your cloud lifecycle should support continual improvement through periodic realignment with organizational strategy and evaluation of optimization and innovation opportunities – revisiting your goals periodically supports this lifecycle approach Let’s evaluate the current cloud goals: Where have we succeeded? Where is there opportunity for better alignment? Discuss any shifts in organizational strategy Devise action plans and new goals to address above
Adoption goal and review Adoption goal title Description Highlights Lowlights Status Completed On Track Partially On Track Not On Track
Adoption goal realignment plan Adoption goal title Description Realignment plan Please describe the plan to help address goals that are flagged as partially on track and not on track only
New goals Some example cloud goals When discussing new goals lets keep in mind: Alignment with organizational strategy – what are your new imperatives for the year? How can we map to them? Innovation opportunities Optimization opportunities Goals should be large and overarching with traceability to organizational strategy Some example cloud goals Increase cloud returns through automation Gain insights from our data with data insights and machine learning Enhance our enterprise mobility capabilities Connect our LOB assets to IoT services to improve business intelligence Facilitate mergers and acquisitions through cloud adoption Embrace DevOps throughout our people and processes

Revisiting your cloud outcomes
Revisiting your cloud outcomes Assessing your outcomes periodically against expected results is also a key part of supporting your cloud lifecycle approach. Let’s evaluate your current cloud outcomes: Which have succeeded? Where is there opportunity for improvement? New outcomes and metrics Devise action plans and new outcomes to address above As a refresher, remember outcomes were: Measurable results, mapped to goals, and not the same as projects
Previous cloud outcome Outcome name Description Description of cloud outcome being revisited Priority: HIGH MEDIUM LOW Benefits Aligned adoption goals Key performance indicators Expected benefits that were documented with outcome Goals that were aligned with cloud outcome How success was going to be measured for the outcome
Cloud outcome review sheet Highlights Lowlights Status Completed (stop tracking) On track Partially on track Action plan Please describe the plan to help address outcomes that are flagged as partially on track and not on track Not on track
New cloud outcome Outcome name Description Benefits Here we will place a brief description of the outcome or service desired Priority: HIGH MEDIUM LOW Benefits Aligned adoption goals Key performance indicators Here we highlight the expected benefits Here we highlight the adoption goals Here we highlight how we intend to measure success of this outcome
New cloud outcome example Cloud Workflow Automation Description Automate processes in our cloud workflow Priority: HIGH Benefits Aligned adoption goals Key performance indicators Reduce costs Reduce time to value Increase responsiveness Increase efficiency Increase our cloud returns through automation Automate the following key costly processes in our cloud workflow: X Y Z
