Step 1 · Quick assessment
Twelve symptoms of ungoverned IT
Answer honestly — “IDK” counts as a half signal. No email required; this is just for you.
- 01
We have at least one weekly recurring meeting with 8+ attendees that produces no documented decisions.
Status updates that could be a dashboard.
- 02
Senior engineers spend more than 30% of their week in meetings.
Track via calendar audit if unsure.
- 03
Routine changes still go through a formal CAB.
Should be auto-approved.
- 04
Average time to approve a low-risk change exceeds 3 working days.
DVSG target: under 15 minutes.
- 05
We have 2+ tools with overlapping core functionality.
Classic post-merger or shadow-IT residue.
- 06
A vendor contract auto-renewed without a value review in the last 18 months.
The evergreen trap.
- 07
We don't systematically track active vs. paid seats per SaaS product.
No data = guaranteed leak.
- 08
We pay for premium tiers but most users only use basic features.
Premium-by-default.
- 09
A weekly or monthly status report is produced that fewer than 3 people actually read.
Effort sink with no audience.
- 10
KPIs reach business stakeholders more than 7 days after the underlying event.
Periodic reporting tax.
- 11
Engineers regularly wait for managerial sign-off on decisions within their expertise.
The autonomy gap.
- 12
Incident response involves more than 2 escalation hops before reaching the right expert.
Hierarchy drag during crisis.
