Vendor and tool review. Keep, cut, or consolidate without slowing teams

Start with value

Tie every tool to an outcome. If you cannot name it in one line, put the tool on the watch list.

Map renewals

Create a simple table. Vendor. Purpose. Owner. Renewal date. Cost. Contract term. Risk if removed. Replacement options.

Run the review

Check overlap. Check usage. Check security. Keep the few that carry the load. Consolidate features where it makes sense.

Change with care

If you remove a tool, write the transition plan. Data export. User training. Timeline. Support contact. Announce early.

Measure the result

Track time saved and reduction in cost. Confirm the effect on cycle time or error rate. Savings are real only if flow stays strong.

Finish

Publish the final list and owners. Update the renewal calendar. Recheck in six months.
