For project & program managers

Project-level cost visibility — without an FP&A degree.

Map cloud spend to projects, programs, and customer engagements. Stand up a project cost group in minutes; close it out cleanly when the project ends.

The problem

What PMs tell us is broken.

Projects don't map to subscriptions.

One subscription serves five projects. Or one project sprawls across three subscriptions.

No clean MoM variance.

Was the spike a project event or a resource event? It's impossible to tell from the invoice.

Closeout takes forever.

When a project ends, decommissioning drags on and someone still gets billed for orphaned resources.

How CloudMonitor answers

What CloudMonitor changes.

Project = cost group.

A cost group can be defined from tags, resource groups, or subscriptions — whichever maps to how your projects are structured.

Project-level variance reports.

See exactly which project caused the variance. With drilldown to the resource.

Closeout report on demand.

Orphaned resources, idle assets, total project cost — all in one handover report.

Project as cost group

Stand up a project cost group in minutes.

Define a cost group from tag values, resource groups, or subscriptions. Assign owners — PM, Engineering Lead, Sponsor — and CloudMonitor handles the rest.

  • Three owner roles per cost group
  • Tag-based, resource-based, or subscription-based
  • Multi-tier hierarchy (Program → Project → Workstream)
  • Audit trail of every change
