More than 500 100 – 500 20 – 100 Fewer than 20

How well documented is your current infrastructure?

Minimal or no documentation Some documentation, often out of date Mostly documented with known gaps Fully documented and version-controlled

No formal training programme Ad-hoc training on request Structured programme with certification targets Ongoing programme with dedicated budget and KPIs

4. Business Requirements
