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

Featuring 999 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 Design Document improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the 999 standard requirements:

How can everyone on a software design team acquire just enough knowledge to design effective software, especially user interfaces, without having to become domain experts?
What is the design teams additional obligation for coordination when integrated information becomes fluid and malleable as a result of design document production?
Does your organization require the flexibility to adjust its staff size to meet its objectives in software design, development, installation and support?
Have the end user/operator requirements been represented in the concept phase that the requirements are flowed into the software requirements?
How to design and develop a process model that can elicit, analyze, and preserve ethical values in AI systems software design and development?
Have requirements/design/code personnel been moved to other tasks and are no longer available to support testing or error correction?
Does software lifecycle approach & timeframe meet needs of overall project; does it have a chance of being close to what is needed?
Is it necessary to specify here how many standard interfaces will be produced, or is that a design decision that follows later?
Why should the evolution and integration of software design patterns, heuristics and practical design knowledge be different?
Is there a diverse and wide range of packaged software designed to run under control of the selected operating system?

Complete the self assessment, on your own or with a team in a workshop setting. Use the workbook together with the self assessment requirements spreadsheet:

TRUSTED BY NEARLY 200.000 PROFESSIONALS:

'As a new Chief Technology Officer, I was feeling unprepared and inadequate to be successful in my role. I ordered an IT toolkit Sunday night and was prepared Monday morning to shed light on areas of improvement within my organization. I no longer felt overwhelmed and intimidated, I was excited to share what I had learned.'

'Everyday there are new regulations and processes in my industry. The Art of Service toolkit has kept me ahead by using AI technology to constantly update the toolkits and address emerging needs.'

'I usually work until at least 8pm on weeknights. The Art of Service questionnaire saved me so much time and worry that Thursday night I attended my sons soccer game without sacrificing my professional obligations.'

'Before The Art of Service, I waited eagerly for consulting company reports to come out each month. These reports kept us up to speed but provided little value because they put our competitors on the same playing field. With The Art of Service, we have uncovered unique insights to drive our business forward.'

'I customized The Art of Service toolkit to focus specifically on the concerns of my role and industry. I did not have to waste time with a generic self-help book that wasnt tailored to my exact situation.'

'Many of our competitors have asked us about our secret sauce. When I tell them it is the knowledge we have in-house, they never believe me. Little do they know The Art of Service toolkits are working behind the scenes.'

'One of my friends hired a consultant who used the knowledge gained working with his company to advise their competitor. Talk about a competitive disadvantage! The Art of Service allowed us to keep our knowledge from walking out the door along with a huge portion of our budget in consulting fees.'

'I used the questionnaires to interview members of my team. I never knew how many insights we could produce collectively with our internal knowledge.'

'After purchasing The Art of Service toolkit, I was able to identify areas where my company was not in compliance that could have put my job at risk. I looked like a hero when I proactively educated my team on the risks and presented a solid solution.'

'After utilizing toolkits from The Art of Service, I was able to identify threats within my organization to which I was completely unaware. Using my teams knowledge as a competitive advantage, we now have superior systems that save time and energy.'

'The risk of our competitors getting ahead has been mitigated because The Art of Service has provided us with a 360-degree view of threats within our organization before they even arise.'

'I spent months shopping for an external consultant before realizing that The Art of Service would allow my team to consult themselves! Not only did we save time not catching a consultant up to speed, we were able to keep our company information and industry secrets confidential.'

'Instead of investing extensive resources into an external consultant, we can spend more of our budget towards pursuing our company goals and objectives, while also spending a little more on corporate holiday parties.'

'Honestly, I did not know what I did not know. Before purchasing The Art of Service, I did not realize how many areas of my business needed to be refreshed and improved. I am so relieved The Art of Service was there to highlight our blind spots.'

Are you ready to get started?

Are you clear on what you are struggling with, want to figure out what the problem is, diagnose it, and get a solution? The solution is something this Toolkit can provide, and we believe it can solve your problem, but you have to decide if you want to become a part of it or not.

Decision Making:

When it comes to making purchasing decisions, do you have clarity on your decision-making process before possibly purchasing this Toolkit? Are there others to consider and are they supportive of you wanting to possibly get results?

The Reason:

What are you looking for that this Toolkit can help you with, what do you need help with specifically. Is the cost of feeling the pain far more than the cost of removing it?

Can you fill in the blanks: “I need help with … because of …?”

You are here because we have a great reputation in the space, and you specifically want this Toolkit to help you, but why now, why is it so important to solve this right now?

The answer to this question is your REAL pain:

Why do you think this problem exists?
What have you tried to fix it?
How long has this been a problem?
Is this problem affecting your life in other ways, and how?

Tried:

What have you tried so far to fix this? Is there pain of frustration to solve this all on your own?

This Toolkit gives you your proven advisor, an advisor the vast majority of professionals do not use, because they do not know it exists. If you have tried Toolkits before, so have everyone else of our 200.000 clients. Once they use this Toolkit, they are shocked as to how they quickly get results.

Current and desired situation:

This toolkit will give you the exact quantifiable metrics in your situation; identifying where exactly you are in the journey to solving your problem and what that looks like.

Where do you want to be, what is your desired situation: if you were to use this Toolkit, where would you want to be 12 months from now to feel like the investment was more than worth it? Make sure you set realistic expectations.

Why:

What is driving you to achieve that goal? How would that affect you or change your life. What would that look like.

The reason WHY you want something always comes down to either love or status - have clarity on your WHY.

Ownership:

What is stopping you from achieving this all on your own without any help? If your answer is one of these three answers, this Toolkit is right for you:

I do not know how to do it
I want to follow a proven process from someone that has already done it
I want to get there faster

Commitment:

When are you wanting to fix this? If the answer is now; how committed are you to making that happen? Will you do the work? Will you take action? Will you show leadership?

The fact is, it is never a good time, it is never a good time to start a new program, and it is never a good time to fix a major problem. And even if you think a later time is a good time, you know something will come up. Life will keep happening. If you truly want to solve this problem, would you agree you have to commit to solving it even when it is not the perfect time?

The Art of Services Toolkits only work with people that are ready to go. You do not have to work with The Art of Service, we are not here to convince you. We are just here to see if you are a good fit.

However, if you are wanting to solve your problem, this Toolkit can make that happen.

Which would you like to do?

Our area of expertise is helping professionals to get the results they want so they can lead and get ahead. And we do that by pouring our experience, advise and knowledge in this Toolkit. Now, this may not be for you, but we let you decide if it sounds like a good fit so far.

What happens upon purchase: When you add to cart and checkout you will instantly be able to access the Toolkit resources, no delays, no waiting, no talking to people; this is unique and custom to our Toolkits and business. Right away the Toolkit will Guide you through a step-by-step process to get results.
