Then find your goals...

STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track

Featuring 996 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Software License Management improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the 996 standard requirements:


1. How will software license management integrate with incident management to automatically track and update the affected software assets and licenses during incident resolution, and will this integration be bi-directional to ensure that incident status is also updated in the software license management system?
   
   

2. In what ways do the decentralized and democratized nature of SaaS adoption, where individual employees or departments may be procuring and using SaaS applications without IT's knowledge or involvement, pose a risk to our organization's software license compliance and management efforts?
   
   

3. What software license management metrics will be used to track and measure customer satisfaction, such as Net Promoter Score (NPS), Customer Satisfaction (CSAT), or Customer Effort Score (CES), and how will they be weighted to provide a comprehensive view of customer satisfaction?
   
   

4. What opportunities exist to leverage machine learning and artificial intelligence to automate software license management tasks, such as license renewal and optimization, and how will these technologies be integrated with data analytics and business intelligence processes?
   
   

5. How will problem management processes utilize software license management data to identify root causes of problems related to software license non-compliance or optimization opportunities, and will this data be used to inform problem root cause analysis and resolution?
   
   

6. How will software license management be integrated with asset management processes to provide a complete view of software assets across the organization, and what data normalization and reconciliation processes will be implemented to ensure accuracy and consistency?
   
   

7. What are the most effective ways to communicate software license management policies and procedures to stakeholders, including end-users, IT staff, and management, and how can these stakeholders be engaged and trained to support software license management efforts?
   
   

8. What are the integration points between software license management and the organization's virtualization and cloud infrastructure, such as VMware or AWS, to ensure that software licenses are properly tracked and managed in virtualized and cloud-based environments?
   
   

9. How will software license management training and awareness programs be integrated with other organizational initiatives, such as IT service management, cybersecurity, or digital transformation, to promote a culture of software license management and optimization?
   
   

10. How will the software license management system help to streamline and automate software license management processes, such as tracking and reporting, and what benefits are expected from these efficiencies, such as reduced manual effort or improved data accuracy?
