Business Scenario Workshop Report : Workshop Goals

The stated goals of this workshop were to:

• Discuss the pain-points associated with not having cloud computing, and the implication of them
• Build a consensus around the priorities of the pain-points
• Identify the critical elements of the environment, business, people, and technical – generalize and establish roles for each
• Discuss the objectives of addressing the pain-points – get as specific and tangible as possible

A presentation was given at the start of the workshop to give an overview of the Business Scenario process and set the workshop goals.
