The 994+ Requirements Workbook
The self-assessment workbook is organized across 7 eTOM process areas: Strategy to Plan, Infrastructure, Service Development, Marketing, Fulfillment, Assurance, and Billing. Practitioners use it to evaluate current capabilities, identify missing practices, and prioritize improvements. The workbook includes case-based questions such as "Is there a documented process for handling service outages that impacts more than one customer segment?", "Does the organization have a standard template for service handoff between fulfillment and assurance teams?", and "Are customer complaints categorized and tracked by process stage?" These questions support consistent evaluation across teams and provide a factual basis for planning.
The 20+ Templates
The toolkit includes editable templates in Excel and Word formats, such as process flowcharts, RACI matrices, service lifecycle tracking sheets, governance meeting agendas, performance dashboards, and rollout checklists. These artifacts are designed to be reused across projects and adapted to internal naming conventions. Each template follows the eTOM structure and includes instructions for use, ensuring consistent application across roles and departments.
Course Outcomes and Certification
Upon completion, you will have produced 3 concrete deliverables built using the toolkit: a completed process assessment report, a 30-day rollout plan with milestones, and a performance dashboard with baseline metrics. The Art of Service issues a certificate of completion confirming demonstrated knowledge and applied capability in eTOM-based process implementation.
