Where Organizations Often Discover Gaps
When nonprofit teams complete this worksheet, the same challenges appear frequently.
Technology Ownership
Systems exist without a clearly defined internal owner.
Workflow Visibility
Leadership understands the technology decision while workflow impact has not yet been mapped.
Account Access
Permissions remain active for past users or shared accounts remain in place.
These issues often become visible once systems and workflows are reviewed together.
The checklist provides a structured way to identify them early.
