Determine your motivations, mission, and objectives
To ensure a successful cloud adoption journey, identify and understand your motivations to move to the cloud. Key motivations include cost savings, agility, scalability, and innovation. Align your cloud adoption strategies with these motivations so that you can achieve your business goals more effectively. For example, if critical business events are a top priority, you might start migration early, alongside strategy and planning efforts.
Clearly define a mission and objectives to provide direction and purpose during your cloud adoption. A mission is only valuable if you can take action on it, achieve objectives effectively, and measure the results. Create a mission statement that helps you align your objectives and key results to your organization’s overall business mission.
Define clear steps that you can take to achieve your mission. These steps become your objectives. Define specific key performance indicators (KPIs) that indicate the success of your objectives.
Assign accountability for each key result, and review key results and their associated KPIs regularly. A well-defined mission and objectives help you stay focused and motivated throughout your cloud adoption journey.
