Reply To: Create and compare an “Is Map” vs. a “Should Map.”

The knowledge gained so far is summarized in the “Is Map,” which is the assessment of the
current environment. To document direction, the “Should Map” is the ultimate KPA
implementation that fulfills the goals for ITAM to the best achievable level. The “Should Map” is
not necessarily achievable in a single project or year. From this map, ideas for analysis, projects,
and opportunities are generated as progress is made. ITAM is a quest for the ultimate goal
achievement rather than a destination. Without a plan or in this case an effective map, it is hard
to reach the desired goals.
