Then find your goals...
STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track
Featuring 994 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Cloud Foundry improvements can be made.
Examples; 10 of the 994 standard requirements:
- How does Cloud Foundry enable the development and deployment of IoT applications that rely on low-bandwidth and high-latency networks, and how does it support the unique requirements of IoT devices?
- What are the most critical security controls to implement when deploying Cloud Foundry in a high-security environment, and how do they align with industry standards such as NIST 800-53 or PCI-DSS?
- How do you integrate security into the continuous integration and continuous deployment pipeline in Cloud Foundry, and what are the key security gates and checks that should be implemented?
- What are the key considerations for selecting and configuring the underlying storage infrastructure, including persistent and ephemeral storage, for a low-latency Cloud Foundry environment?
- What is the role of Cloud Foundry in enabling Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) in Agile project management, and which tools does it integrate with for this purpose?
- What are the key considerations for selecting and configuring the underlying infrastructure, including network, storage, and compute resources, for a low-latency Cloud Foundry environment?
- What is the recommended approach for incorporating patch management and vulnerability remediation into Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines in Cloud Foundry?
- What are the key considerations for selecting and configuring the underlying messaging infrastructure, including message brokers and queues, for a low-latency Cloud Foundry environment?
- How does Cloud Foundry integrate with Microsoft Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS), and what are the benefits of this integration for Agile project management and software development?
- How do you ensure that Cloud Foundry applications are designed and developed with resiliency and availability in mind, and what are the key security principles that should be followed?
Complete the self assessment, on your own or with a team in a workshop setting. Use the workbook together with the self assessment requirements spreadsheet:
- The workbook is the latest in-depth complete edition of the Cloud Foundry book in PDF containing 994 requirements, which criteria correspond to the criteria in...
Your Cloud Foundry self-assessment dashboard which gives you your dynamically prioritized projects-ready tool and shows your organization exactly what to do next:
- The Self-Assessment Excel Dashboard; with the Cloud Foundry Self-Assessment and Scorecard you will develop a clear picture of which Cloud Foundry areas need attention, which requirements you should focus on and who will be responsible for them:

STEP 3: Implement, Track, follow up and revise strategy
The outcomes of STEP 2, the self assessment, are the inputs for STEP 3; Start and manage Cloud Foundry projects with the 62 implementation resources:
- 62 step-by-step Cloud Foundry Project Management Form Templates covering over 1500 Cloud Foundry project requirements and success criteria:
Examples; 10 of the check box criteria:
- Initiating Process Group: How is each deliverable reviewed, verified, and validated?
- Probability and Impact Assessment: Risk categorization -which of your categories has more risk than others?
- Closing Process Group: Does the close educate others to improve performance?
- Cost Baseline: Have you identified skills that are missing from your team?
- Activity Duration Estimates: Find an example of a contract for information technology services. Analyze the key features of the contract. What type of contract was used and why?
- Activity Duration Estimates: What does it mean to take a systems view of a Cloud Foundry project?
- Scope Management Plan: Has process improvement efforts been completed before requirements efforts begin?
- Human Resource Management Plan: How complete is the human resource management plan?
- Requirements Management Plan: Is requirements work dependent on any other specific Cloud Foundry project or non-Cloud Foundry project activities (e.g. funding, approvals, procurement)?
- Responsibility Assignment Matrix: Does the Cloud Foundry project need to be analyzed further to uncover additional responsibilities?

Results
With this Three Step process you will have all the tools you need for any Cloud Foundry project with this in-depth Cloud Foundry Toolkit.
In using the Toolkit you will be better able to:
- Diagnose Cloud Foundry projects, initiatives, organizations, businesses and processes using accepted diagnostic standards and practices
- Implement evidence-based best practice strategies aligned with overall goals
- Integrate recent advances in Cloud Foundry and put process design strategies into practice according to best practice guidelines
Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a business challenge or meet a business objective is the most valuable role; In EVERY company, organization and department.
Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project within a business, there should be a process. Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?'
This Toolkit empowers people to do just that - whether their title is entrepreneur, manager, consultant, (Vice-)President, CxO etc... - they are the people who rule the future. They are the person who asks the right questions to make Cloud Foundry investments work better.
This Cloud Foundry All-Inclusive Toolkit enables You to be that person.
