2. DETAILED SMS GAP ANALYSIS AND IMPLEMENTATION TASKS (TABLE 5-A7-2)
The initial gap analysis checklist in Table 5-A7-1 should then be followed up by using the detailed ―SMS gap analysis and implementation task identification plan. in Table 5-A7-2. Once completed, Table 5-A7-2 will provide follow-up analysis on details of the gaps and help translate these into actual required tasks and subtasks in the specific context of the organization’s processes and procedures. Each task will then accordingly be assigned to appropriate individuals or groups for action. It is important that correlation of individual element/task development with their descriptive placeholders in the SMS document be provided for in Table 5-A7-2 in order to trigger progressive updating of the draft SMS document as each element is implemented or enhanced. (Initial element write-ups in SMS documents tend to be anticipatory rather than declaratory.)
