Under the shared services, you can choose different engineering functions and business functions to complement the different practice areas. In the diagram, the practice areas are Marketing, Finance, Training and Certification, and Customer Support.

Under each practice area, the expectation is to have a single practice owner work with the Product Technical Leads and the Delivery team members who will deliver the projects. Each practice owner will be responsible for the targets and KPIs for their individual practice and will report to the Cloud Business Office (CBO) team, as shown in the following diagram.

The CBO is the central hub of the CCoE. It's responsible for developing and implementing the cloud strategy, developing and enforcing cloud governance policies, and managing the cloud budget. The CBO also oversees the work of the Cloud Engineering team.

The Cloud Engineering team is responsible for the technical aspects of the organization's cloud environment. This includes designing, migrating, and operating cloud workloads. The Cloud Engineering team also works to ensure the security and compliance of the cloud environment.
