Introduction:
EPRM employs what is called a Nodal Hierarchy. This term simply means a
structured hierarchy that consists of nodes. Nodes can be components, units, agencies or
any other type of organization or entity. When constructing the organization’s nodal
hierarchy, the Node Administrator can build it to mirror a unit’s chain of command or the
areas of responsibility for assessors. Establishing a good hierarchy will ensure assessment
management and multi-assessment analysis are easily achievable.
The hierarchy should be structured in order to facilitate assessment management
up the chain. This guide is intended to give Node Managers an overview of the steps
involved in creating and managing the Nodal Hierarchy.
