Opportunity for Product Feedback
Asset List Feedback
My name is Rotem and I am a product manager at Augury. As part of our discovery into what works and what doesn't [with regards to the asset list] we have a couple questions for you:
- How was the asset list experience for you? What was good and what did you think could be better?
- How did you choose what assets to put on your original list?
- How did you collect the information needed to fill the asset list details? was it by physically walking around the site or was it in files and systems in your office?
- What use do you have for the asset list you received post-criticality assessment?
