The 994+ Requirements Workbook
The self-assessment workbook is organized across seven process areas: strategy, data management, campaign execution, lead management, compliance, reporting, and governance. Practitioners use it to evaluate current capabilities, identify gaps, and prioritize improvements. Each requirement is phrased as a yes/no or implemented/not implemented question based on real deployment scenarios. Example questions include: "Is there a documented process for updating Pardot email templates?", "Are lead scoring models reviewed quarterly for accuracy?", and "Is there a log of all field mapping changes between Pardot and Salesforce?" The workbook supports both initial setup and ongoing audits.
The 20+ Templates
The toolkit includes editable templates in Excel and Word for lead scoring models, campaign briefs, email workflow diagrams, compliance checklists, sync validation logs, and KPI dashboards. These artifacts are used during implementation and ongoing operations to maintain consistency and reduce rework. All templates are provided in standard formats and can be adapted to organizational needs without licensing restrictions.
