What the guide covered

## Use the topics to prepare a current review

The original resource focused on Azure cost decisions. These retained topics are a briefing aid, not a promise about savings or delivery.

-   Describe the cost concern and why it matters now.
-   Bring the relevant billing view, subscription map, and workload owners.
-   Define which operational constraints cannot be traded away.
-   Agree how each recommendation will be approved and checked.

Current guidance

## Check the live scope before you act

The current Azure FinOps service page explains the review boundaries used on this site. Microsoft also maintains guidance for Azure cost recommendations.

[Review the current service](/services/azure-finops-cost-optimisation/) [Read Microsoft guidance](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/costs/tutorial-acm-opt-recommendations)

Bring to the first review

-   The subscriptions and workloads in scope.
-   The period and cost view you are using.
-   Known operational, security, and performance boundaries.
-   The people who can approve any resulting change.
