Roles Created vs CMDB Existence Before

[Large Scope, with CMDB][Large Scope, No prior CMDB][Medium Scope, with CMDB][Medium Scope, No prior CMDB][Small Scope, No prior CMDB]

Key Takeaways

  • Large-scope projects without a prior CMDB create the most roles, indicating that greenfield, high-complexity initiatives require the strongest governance build-out.
  • Having an existing CMDB slightly reduces the number of new roles created, suggesting that foundational structures and ownership may already be partially established.
  • Small-scope projects without a prior CMDB introduce minimal roles, reflecting lighter governance needs but potentially higher concentration of responsibility.
