SHOW NOTES:

Topic 1 - Welcome Evelyn and Brian. Let’s start at the start, can both you give a brief intro?

Topic 2 -  You both represent the Azure Cloud Adoption Framework team. What is it and how did it come about?

Topic 3 - You have a concept the really resonates with me and customers I’ve spoken too, the idea that no one’s cloud journey is the same. There is a formal blueprint to success. Define a strategy, plan the business outcomes, prepare the environment, implement the initial changes and migrations. From there we move to the operations stage that includes governance and management of operations.

Topic 4 - Is this a product? A service? A blueprint? What is the most common pain you see in your customers? Why?

Topic 5 - Do you have customer success stories and common examples/use cases you can share?
