New Feature: Team Leaderboard

Cloudthread launched Team Leaderboard, a new section of the Savings Hub, which aggregates spend, waste, and achieved savings data for each Team in a table that can exported. The Leaderboard can be filtered by priority, Cloud (e.g. AWS or GCP), Usage vs Rate, and Rate Optimization Settings like the rest of the Savings Hub.

Everyone talks about Cloud FinOps gamification and rewarding teams that act on usage optimization savings opportunities but actually rolling this out can be tricky. Aggregating savings opportunities for each team, tracking waste and savings over time, benchmarking teams as a percentage of their spend.

Team Leaderboard makes this easy. Central FinOps Teams get a turnkey system to create incentives and gamification for usage optimization and encourage engineering teams to take action.
