Introduction
As organizations are becoming bigger and more complex, it is becoming difficult to meet the business expectations and alignment of business and IT. Measuring the performance and progress of organizations, cloud adoption gives the cloud team an opportunity to identify areas where they need to focus more in order to ensure that the cloud center of excellence (CCoE) is functioning properly and delivering the business value.
Today, businesses are adopting the cloud as part of the transformation journey to improve business agility and customer relationships while delivering operational efficiencies. However, most organizations have no mechanism to measure the effectiveness of cloud adoption. Also, there exists very little guidance on the measurement of cloud adoption effectiveness within the organization. Most organizations focus on the definition, completeness of the cloud adoption, and maturity of the cloud development processes rather than the effectiveness of cloud adoption measurement.
