What is the primary goal for the procurement business unit?
-
A
Assurance that cloud investments are aligned with business objectives
-
B
Cloud platform relationship management
-
C
Quickly bring new products and features to market with an accurate price point.
-
D
Drive best practices into the organization through education, standardization, and cheerleading
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The primary goal for the procurement business unit when adopting a FinOps function is:
Cloud platform relationship management.
Here's why the other options are incorrect:
Assurance that cloud investments are aligned with business objectives: While this is a broader goal of FinOps, it's not specifically focused on procurement's role. Other stakeholders like finance and business units might be more concerned with this aspect.
Quickly bring new products and features to market with an accurate price point: This might be a goal for product development or marketing, not directly related to procurement's FinOps involvement.
Drive best practices into the organization through education, standardization, and cheerleading: This could be a secondary or supportive role for procurement, but not their primary focus within FinOps.
There are clearly labeled roles for each 'Persona' and we must learn these for the exam.
