Rakesh Kumar Mali · International Journal of Computer Trends and Technology · 2025
Effective cost management has become more crucial as cloud adoption increases across all sectors. For Technical Program Managers (TPMs) in charge of software development projects, management has become a crucial skill. This work offers a thorough framework for cloud cost optimization, combining financial management with technical best practices. And examine essential tactics like granular cost transparency, resource rightsizing, policy implementation, and performance-cost balancing. Real-world case studies and empirical data support the conclusion that TPMs can deliver substantial cost savings without compromising innovation speed or service quality. This work presents a maturity model for cloud financial operations (FinOps) and discusses areas for future investigation and guidelines for this ever-changing sector.
