Step 1—Develop To-be Support Structures
Step 1 includes the development of:
Gap Analysis
One possible approach to determine the gap—the differences
between the current support organization and the fiiture one—is
to schedule workshops with the appropriate staffmembers who
are dealing with system operational tasks or support processes at
present. This should also include representatives of the current
help desk unit.
The gap analysis should be based on the results of those workshops
and on tlie data that can be gathered from self-assessment where
representatives of all present support units will take part. The
topics of the gap analysis should include processes, skills, tools,
headcount, services of the help desk and interfaces to other
organizational units.
Role De/tnitions
The definitions for the required roles must be provided in detail.
