Visibility → Optimisation → Innovation

A structured sprint designed for UK startups and SMEs running AWS, Azure, or GCP

WEEKS 1-2

Phase 1: Visibility

Establish full visibility into your cloud spend, architecture, and waste opportunities. You can't optimise what you can't see.

Typical UK environments reveal 10–15% optimisation potential within the first 30 days (based on FinOps benchmarks).

Audit current spend patterns across all services and regions
Assess tagging maturity and cost allocation readiness
Identify immediate waste (idle resources, over-provisioned instances)
Map architecture and data transfer costs
Benchmark against FinOps best practices
Deliver 90-day roadmap with prioritised quick wins
Deliverables:
  • • Comprehensive spend audit report
  • • Tagging and allocation assessment
  • • Waste identification matrix (quick wins)
  • • 90-day FinOps roadmap
Baseline Metrics
Establish current spend, allocation accuracy, and waste %
Risk Assessment
Identify compliance gaps and architectural anti-patterns
Strategic Roadmap
Prioritised action plan for next 90 days
Quick Wins
Identify 10-15% optimisable spend in first 30 days
Commitment Strategy
RIs, Savings Plans, CUDs for predictable workloads
Team Enablement
Train engineers on cost-aware architecture
WEEKS 3-4

Phase 2: Optimisation

Execute quick wins and implement long-term optimisation strategies to reduce waste and lock in predictable pricing.

Typical cumulative savings: 15–25% by end of Week 4.

Implement rightsizing recommendations (compute, storage, databases)
Develop Reserved Instance / Savings Plan strategy
Optimise data transfer and egress costs
Review and refine autoscaling policies
Implement cost anomaly detection alerts
Train engineering team on cost-aware design
Deliverables:
  • • Rightsizing and commitment recommendations
  • • Cost anomaly detection setup
  • • Architecture review and optimisation playbook
  • • Team training sessions (2x workshops)
WEEKS 5-6

Phase 3: Innovation

Build sustainable governance processes, forecasting models, and team accountability to maintain long-term FinOps maturity.

This final phase turns your FinOps sprint into a lasting operating model.

Implement cost allocation and tagging governance
Build predictive forecasting models (±5-10% accuracy)
Establish showback/chargeback frameworks
Create budget alerts and variance controls
Document FinOps policies and runbooks
Quarterly business review cadence setup
Deliverables:
  • • Cost allocation model (90-95% accuracy)
  • • Predictive forecasting framework
  • • Governance policies and runbooks
  • • Ongoing quarterly review cadence
Governance Framework
Policies, tagging standards, and accountability
Forecasting Models
Predictable budgets with ±5-10% variance
Team Autonomy
Self-service dashboards and showback reports
