The AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) outlines various perspectives necessary for organizations to effectively transition to cloud operations, including business, people, governance, security, platform, and operations. Each perspective highlights key roles and skills required to optimize cloud value, manage governance, and ensure security compliance, while also addressing the need for agility in project management and organizational change. Successful cloud adoption is contingent on understanding the organization's current state, desired goals, and establishing iterative work streams to support staff in the transition.

Program and Project Managers need to update their skills and processes to take advantage of the agility and cost management features of cloud services. Teams need to develop new skills in agile project management and new processes for managing agile-style projects. Business Performance Measurement – Addresses the organization’s capability to measure and optimize processes in support of your organization’s goals. CAF Perspectives

Platform Perspective The skills and processes supporting this capability change significantly from managing hardware-bound and cost-bound databases to provisioning standard relational database management systems (RDMS) in the cloud and leveraging cloud-native databases. Systems and Solution Architecture – Encompasses your organization’s capability to define and describe the design of a system and to create architecture standards for the organization. With cloud services, many of the traditional architectural aspects of systems change. Architects will need to develop new skills to codify architectures in templates and create new processes for workload optimization.

CAF Perspectives
- 15. Cloud Aspiration AWS: “Each organization’s cloud adoption journey is unique. In order to successfully execute your adoption, you need to understand your organization’s current state, the target state, and the transition required to achieve the target state. Knowing this will help you set goals and create work streams that will enable staff to thrive in the cloud” Work streams are iterative and change over time Eg DevOps refers to practices, skills, and processes that depend on the collaboration of both development and operational teams CAF Perspectives Cultural Change
