Cloud Transformation not only modernizes infrastructures but also requires adapting workflows to align with new operational models, which is why governance is crucial. As business embrace Cloud, it’s the time to set the right guardrails that ensure visibility, consistency, and efficiency across all teams.
That’s exactly what Bonnie Beyer, Atlassian Certified SAFe® Practice Consultant and Delivery Manager at Valiantys, alongside Jason Buettner, Head of Enterprise Agility, delved into during their recent webinar.
In this engaging session, Bonnie and Jason shared insights into the common pitfalls companies face when they overlook governance during Cloud Transformation, leading to chaotic systems—what they refer to as the “Franken-jira.” From unnecessary custom fields to convoluted workflows, these inefficiencies can stunt growth and hamper decision-making.
Why governance is critical in your Atlassian Cloud Transformation
As Bonnie highlighted, governance is not about placing restrictions, but rather about empowering teams through structure and balance. When implemented correctly, governance ensures:
- Scalability: A governance framework helps your tools like Jira and Confluence grow with you, rather than becoming cumbersome as your business expands.
- Visibility: A well governed system provides clean and reliable data, which in turn enables faster, better decision-making at all levels.
- Operational Efficiency: With strong governance, organizations can automate processes and reporting, leading to substantial cost savings and improved workflows.
Governance provides the balance between flexibility and control, fostering innovation and operational efficiency. Embedding a governance strategy early in your Cloud Transformation prepares your Atlassian tools for a seamless, scalable future.
