32. Lessons Learnt
- Bottom Up and Top Down approach is required to gain a
detailed understanding of the roles, and their respective
interfaces to other business processes
- Interview environment should be controlled, such that all
information is retrieved in the one meeting
- Creating a weighting of the questionnaires takes time.
Understand the Go / No Go questions first, then go from there
- Using excel to create the form is simple. Creating the correct
questions to test the applicants job understanding is difficult
and is most challenging
