Attribution had to come before removal. A cost line nobody owns is nobody's problem, so the owners were named first and only then was anything switched off.
The situation
A collection of tools that had accumulated rather than been designed. Overlapping tools, business critical logic living in Access and Alteryx, and a cost line nobody could attribute to an owner.
What I did
- Attributed cost to owners first, which is almost always the highest return move, because consumption stops being abstract.
- Retired what nothing depended on, after checking what nothing depended on rather than assuming.
- Modernised the legacy layer that quietly ran the business, and automated the manual workflows around it.
