How Automated Is Your IT Provisioning? A 9-Question Self-Assessment

IT provisioning is one of the most operationally demanding parts of supporting a growing workforce. Every new hire, role change, and departure requires devices, application access, security settings, and support to be coordinated quickly and accurately.

Many organizations assume their provisioning process is automated because they use modern tools. In practice, important steps often still rely on tickets, manual configuration, vendor coordination, and IT follow-ups. This self-assessment helps you quickly evaluate how much of your IT provisioning is truly automated, and where manual work may still be slowing things down.

How this self-assessment helps

Complete this assessment to:

• Identify where IT provisioning still relies on manual work, such as tickets, spreadsheets, or follow-ups
• Understand how automation affects onboarding speed and consistency
• Evaluate whether provisioning workflows can scale as hiring grows
• Spot gaps in visibility, security, or access management across the employee lifecycle

What’s inside the self-assessment

This resource provides a quick, structured way to evaluate how automated your IT provisioning processes really are.

Inside, you’ll find:

• 9 assessment questions covering the key lifecycle events that trigger IT provisioning
• 5 straightforward answer options for each question, reflecting common operational scenarios
• Simple instructions for interpreting your results
• Guidance on how automation can improve provisioning reliability and scalability

The assessment takes about five minutes to complete and gives you a clear picture of how your current provisioning workflows compare to more automated approaches.

Who this resource is for

This self-assessment is designed for organizations managing IT provisioning across distributed or global teams.

It’s especially useful for:

• IT managers and IT operations leaders responsible for onboarding and device provisioning
• HR and People Ops teams coordinating employee onboarding and role changes
• Operations leaders ensuring employees can start work without delays
• Companies scaling globally without IT teams in every region
• Organizations reviewing whether their provisioning workflows can scale with growth

Whether you’re provisioning devices and access for 20 employees or several thousand, this assessment helps determine how efficiently your current processes operate.
