Stop Measuring Cloud Spend. Start Measuring Cloud Value.

Book Description

Cloud Cost Is a Number. Cloud Value Is the Story That Matters.

Most organizations can tell you what they spent on the cloud. Almost none can tell you what it was worth. Ultimate FinOps Earned Value Management is the book that changes that equation.

You begin with why cloud and technology business value needs a new lens and the foundations of both Earned Value Management and FinOps, then advance into the complete FinOps EVM framework covering how to calculate the key indicators, determine the right unit economics for your organization, and use data, tooling, and automation to make value measurement practical at scale. Each chapter builds progressively toward a complete picture of how cloud spending connects to real business outcomes.
