It provides best practices, documentation, and tools that help you create and implement business and technology strategies for the cloud.



Strategy: Define business justification and expected adoption outcome.

1.Motivation: Why Move ? ( Cost saving, Complexity Reduction, Operation Optimization, Increase Business Agility, Improve Customer Experience, Transformation, …)
2.Business Outcome: What to measure? (Revenue, profit, cost, new market, … )
3.Business Justification: Develop a business case to validate the financial model that supports the company motivation and outcome. ( Using tolls such as: Azure TCO, pricing calculator, cost management). (Cloud Adoption Strategy Evaluator )

Adopt:

1.Migrate: workloads that don't deserve significant investments in the creation of new business logic. Those workloads could be moved to the cloud through any number of approaches: lift and shift, lift and optimize, or modernize. Each approach is considered a migration.
2.Innovate: We'll focus on understanding customer needs and rapidly building innovations that shape how your customers interact with your products. We'll also illustrate an approach to delivering on the value of a minimum viable product (MVP).





Approaches for all stages:

1.Organize: Mature Team Structure, RACI Matrix(responsibility, accountability, consulted, informed)
2.Govern: Define Governance Solutions (based on Business Needs, Agility, Control Risk)
