IT Service Management

Service management is what turns a technology estate into something the rest of the organisation can rely on, and it is usually judged on the two processes users actually see: incidents and requests. This course covers the whole discipline. Delegates work through the service catalogue and service levels that mean something, incident and major incident management, problem management and the distinction most organisations collapse, and change enablement that reduces risk without becoming a bottleneck. Configuration and asset management are covered as the data everything else depends on. The course closes on continual improvement and on metrics that do not reward closing tickets fast.
