The 994+ Requirements Workbook
The self-assessment workbook is organized across seven process areas: financial management, sales and distribution, procurement, inventory and warehousing, production, service management, and system administration. Practitioners use it to systematically evaluate current capabilities, identify missing configurations, and build improvement plans. Each requirement is phrased as a testable condition. Example questions include: "Is every customer master record linked to a payment term and price list?", "Can the system track serial numbers through receipt, issue, and return?", and "Is there a documented approval workflow for purchase requisitions above a set threshold?"
The 20+ Templates
The toolkit includes editable templates in Excel and Word for project initiation, requirements tracking, testing, training, and post-implementation review. Specific artifacts include the project charter, stakeholder register, UAT test script, change request form, training schedule, user access review log, and system cutover checklist. All templates are designed for immediate use and can be adapted to organizational naming conventions and branding.
Course Outcomes and Certification
Upon completion, you will have produced 3 concrete deliverables built using the toolkit: a completed maturity assessment, a customized 30-day rollout plan, and a validated requirements traceability matrix.
