10. Cloud outcomes Cloud outcomes are measurable results
We will utilize an outcome template to capture each outcome during this exercise
Outcomes should map to goals. If they do not consider re-evaluating the outcome and/or the goals
Outcomes are results based and we will document key performance indicators to measure their success
Outcomes are NOT projects
