ITIL/ITSM
• ITIL/ITSM is a framework for managing service
− Service centric model of the IT processes required to deliver
quality IT services to the internal and external customers and
how these processes relate to each other
• Not a formal standard with certifications
− ISO/IEC 20000 is a related formal standard
• Service management implementation can be complex
• Need to understand why it is being done, what
resources are required and how it should be phased

IT Service Management Framework
• One possible view of service management
• Provides
a strategic framework within which selected
elements of service management are implemented and
deployed
− Without such a framework, IT will struggles to determine
Current state of IT with regard to service delivery capability
− Presents a desired future state of IT service management
− Defined steps necessary to bridge gaps and achieve the
Service Management goals of IT
− Provides a long-term goal for implementation and enables
measurements against status of implementation
− Ensures you get implementation right

resolved

logged
• All Incident and Service Request progress and resolutions must be
documented in the Incident and Service Request Management database
• Timely and accurate information regarding known or expected degradation of
service must be made available to the Customers
• There is one defined escalation and transfer process to ensure timely
resolution of escalated incidents
• There is one Incident and Service Request Management Process Quality
Control process in place continually monitoring and measuring the success in
achieving our quality targets, identifying potential process improvements, and
committed to defining training opportunities for developing IT staff
