Is map is the map of what is currently happening. Should map is looking at what is needed to be done in the future.
May 29, 2024 at 1:18 pm #59972Robert CollinsParticipantThis is no more than a current vs future state excercise, I do these for every customer for any processes that we together deem are in scope.
June 1, 2024 at 6:06 pm #60130Don WallParticipantThe “Is Map” focuses on assessing the current state of ITAM, identifying strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement.
The “Should Map” provides a vision for the future state of ITAM, outlining the desired improvements, best practices, and goals to strive forJune 6, 2024 at 3:37 pm #60346Sara AdamsParticipantCurrent and future
June 6, 2024 at 8:47 pm #60398Sherrin RichardsParticipantThe 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.

ITAM Program is not followed to the dot; a number of gaps have been highlighted that can make it more functional
If truly we align the ITAM Program to IAITAM best practices, my organization will see considerable savings and value of the IT assets.Should Map: Set up roles & responsibilities that will drive the ITAM Program

June 18, 2024 at 1:30 am #61040Ann MartinParticipantIS- Things happening now like monitoring equipment every now and then.
SHOULD- Things that need to happen like monitoring all equipment all the time.June 19, 2024 at 1:02 pm #61165James LyonsParticipantEvery organization will have a different version of their IS and SHOULD map depending on their maturity, complexity, and other factors. Having a foundation to describe the current state of an organization measured against industry-standard KPAs is a helpful exercise and prepares one to identify future growth and improvement areas in their “Should” map.

Should Map: an insight of how things should be done if different
June 21, 2024 at 4:07 pm #61240James HottParticipant“Should Map” is the goal and “IS map” are the milestones in progress to achieve the goal.
