Before you rearchitect your software, consider the value of rearchitecting your teams
Migrating to the cloud is about innovation and agility. But are you experiencing the speed and efficiency you envisioned? Many organizations struggle to unlock the full potential of cloud adoption due to a critical factor - the ability of their teams to execute.
This guide, developed by Google Cloud, explores five simple design principles to gauge how fast you can execute and how you identify small improvements to your team structures that can make a big difference.
Forget the traditional monolithic Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) approach. In this guide, Google proposes two specialized, dedicated teams designed to tackle specific cloud migration challenges:
- One dedicated Cloud Office to project manage the implementation of your cloud strategy
- One or more Cloud Platform Teams who each design, build, and operate a platform like a product and serve the needs of their respective users—the business/application teams
Download the guide and discover:
- Why team size matters and why smaller is often better
- The differences between projects and products and how to measure success for each
- How to employ platform teams and enabling teams to accelerate your application teams
- How to leverage personas, critical user journeys (CUJs), and OKRs to steer autonomous teams towards the same priorities
- How to effectively communicate in the physical office, virtually, and hybrid work environments —and the challenges when bridging both
