Driving Cloud FinOps: Advanced Technical Program Management (TPM) Techniques for Cloud Cost Optimization

Venkata Sasidhar (Sasi) Kanumuri

Abstract: Technical Program Management (TPM) is integral to optimizing cloud economics by ensuring cost-effective resource utilization. This article delves into TPM's role in cloud cost governance, emphasizing the importance of embedding cost considerations throughout project lifecycles. By leveraging tools like Jira for centralized cost discussions, data-driven insights, and enhanced collaboration, TPM fosters a cost-conscious culture. Structured intake forms collect essential cost-related data early in the project, promoting proactive cost management. TPM's strategies enhance transparency, accountability, and informed decision-making, aligning cloud expenditures with business objectives. Ultimately, organizations that adopt TPM practices can achieve sustainable cloud cost optimization and maximize value.
