Adastra’s Crawl-Walk-Run Steps to Cloud Cost Optimization

The Crawl/Walk/Run approach is used to assess an organization’s maturity level concerning cloud financial management practices. It is a progression model. Organizations typically move through these phases gradually as they gain experience and knowledge in FinOps practices. Each phase represents an opportunity for growth and improvement in the efficient management of cloud costs:

1. Crawl

  • Limited awareness​
  • Reactive approach​
  • Minimal optimization
  • Limited governance​

2. Walk

  • Increased visibility​
  • Cost tracking and allocation exists​
  • Basic cost optimization​
  • Emerging governance

3. Run

  • Proactive cost management​
  • Automated cost controls​
  • Cost-conscious decision-making​
  • Mature governance
