Audit Best Practices
A thorough audit of your workflows is the only way to truly understand the state of your best practices. There is an inclination to choose to believe that a single standard is being used. Unfortunately this is highly unlikely and should not be assumed. The good news is that an audit will either verify a single standard is being used or will provide the ROI of standardizing and the necessary information to implement a standard. In both cases, you build the foundation required to take the step from Ad Hoc to Managed.
Time to Perform is 2 hours + Gather Workflow information time
+ Why
Here is where the rubber really hits the road. All that money that you may or may not - I’ll cut the suspense, you are - be losing is caught with this audit. The best part is that there is nowhere to go but up! You have your workflows identified and now it’s just a matter of finding out your opportunity.
It’s going to be a slog, because you have to put in the work for this to work. But the second you finish this process you will find cost savings. Oh, and also you will find more of that most precious commodity - time.
