Agenda / Running FinOps at Scale With a Small Team: Inside Our Operating Model, Automations, and Monthly Cadences
Breakout
Level: 200
FinOps Practice Operations

In this session, we take you inside the inner workings of a high‑velocity FinOps operating model run by a 5‑person team supporting an organization at scale.

Instead of a high‑level journey story, we reveal the deep operational mechanics behind a FinOps engine that runs on a rigorous Day 1–5 monthly cadence, blends automation with human decision-making, and drives results through a proactive request intake system, persona‑based reporting, and a repeatable optimization workflow. You’ll see exactly how we finalize our Cloud Cost, reconcile mappings, triage anomalies, build persona reports, route recommendations, engage engineers through accept/snooze workflows, and use our Request Form to turn FinOps into a collaborative practice. We’ll also share a candid lesson learned: visibility alone doesn’t drive change.
