The 994+ Requirements Workbook
The self-assessment workbook is organized across 7 process areas: order management, pricing and discounts, provisioning, billing and invoicing, revenue recognition, reconciliation, and exception handling. Practitioners use it to systematically evaluate current controls, identify missing requirements, and build improvement plans. Each requirement is phrased as a testable statement. Example questions include: "Is every order validated for pricing accuracy before activation?" "Are billing exceptions logged and reviewed weekly?" "Is there a documented reconciliation between provisioning and billing systems?" The workbook supports both greenfield setup and gap analysis in existing environments.
The 20+ Templates
The toolkit includes editable templates in Excel and Word for control assessment checklists, stakeholder interview summaries, control testing worksheets, gap remediation plans, RACI charts, weekly exception reports, and executive dashboards. These artifacts support consistent documentation, team alignment, and audit readiness. All templates are designed for immediate use and can be adapted to internal naming conventions and systems.
Course Outcomes and Certification
Upon completion, you will have produced 3 concrete deliverables built using the toolkit: a completed maturity assessment, a 30-day rollout plan with assigned actions, and a gap remediation report with prioritized controls. The Art of Service issues a certificate of completion confirming demonstrated knowledge and applied capability in revenue assurance.
