Of course the main objective of governance is to achieve our company goals. The cloud governance communication process is important in conveying that information, but also in collecting information. We can use feedback from that process as input for continuous improvement.
In our Target Operating Model there are multiple activities and processes to ensure continuous improvement is embedded such as: maintaining Service Catalog integrity and resource utilization optimization.
Additional activities for the CCoE should include making sure the Service lifecycle is completed. By this we mean making sure that unused or obsolete cloud services are properly decommissioned. Another activity is confirming currency of cloud services.
Strictly relevant services means:
- No unnecessary cost.
- Reduced attack surface.
- Administrative ease.
