FinOps Scopes
A FinOps Scope is a defined segment of spending across any technology category, aligned to business constructs–such as products, cost centers, or environment–that guide the application of FinOps to maximize technology value.
FinOps Practitioners use Scopes to establish the decision context and a shared reference to align stakeholders, activities, and outcomes within a FinOps practice. This context enables the development of practice profiles that determine which Personas are engaged, metrics and KPIs to measure, which Capabilities are applied, and which Domains define success.
Recent State of FinOps data indicates that practitioners increasingly apply FinOps to additional technology categories. They apply the same collaborative, data-driven practices to additional areas of technology spending, such as AI, SaaS, Data Center, and Data Cloud Platforms, in order to identify the value behind these investments and empower faster business decision making.
