Learn how ineffective tagging strategies lead to blind spots in cost visibility, stalled chargeback and showback initiatives, and misalignment between finance and engineering teams. The session will examine common structural challenges enterprises face, including inconsistent standards, lack of enforcement, and organizational resistance, and explain how these issues limit the impact of even the most mature FinOps practices.

Key Takeaways:
1. Why tagging and allocation are foundational—not optional—to enterprise FinOps maturity
Understand how poor tagging undermines visibility, accountability, and cost optimization efforts.

2. How to design a tagging and allocation strategy that scales across teams and clouds
Learn practical approaches to governance, standardization, and enforcement without slowing engineering teams.

3. How mature organizations use tagging to enable chargeback, showback, and better decision-making
See how the right structure turns cloud cost data into actionable insights for finance and engineering leaders.

4. Common tagging mistakes that quietly derail FinOps programs—and how to avoid them
