The cloud governance spreadsheet that breaks every Monday

The situation this course is for

Every week, the same problem: cloud cost data changes, compliance tags go missing, stakeholder requirements shift, and the central tracking file, built in good faith months ago, fails again. You spend hours reconciling, reformatting, and chasing updates. It’s not strategy work. It’s spreadsheet triage. And it happens like clockwork: every Monday morning.

Who this is for

Senior cloud strategist or governance lead at a global services firm, responsible for cross-team cloud oversight, cost control, and compliance reporting, but stuck maintaining fragile spreadsheets that no one owns and everyone depends on.

Who this is not for

This is not for engineers setting up cloud infrastructure or developers deploying workloads. It’s not for executives who only see summaries. It’s for the person in the middle, owning the tracking, answering the questions, fixing the file, week after week.

What you walk away with

  • Stop manual reconciliation of cloud spend across AWS, Azure, and GCP
  • Automate stakeholder-specific reporting with filter-ready dashboards
  • Enforce tagging and compliance rules without policing teams
  • Deploy a self-updating governance tracker that survives team turnover
  • Reduce time spent on governance updates by at least 10 hours per week
