A humorous and insightful perspective on the often-chaotic world of IT service management. Drawing inspiration from the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) framework, but taking a decidedly satirical approach, the book explores the pitfalls, paradoxes, and downright ludicrous situations that can arise in IT organizations.
This piece of work claims to be politically incorrect, sexist and IT-centric. And it achieves all three. We recommend this book to you unreservedly if you wish to provide the worst possible practices to your customers. Be aware that most of the items raised as comic issues make uncomfortable reading, because we can all identify someone who really believes in them.
Note: This book is available in several languages: Chinese, English. This book provides a more thorough approach to service agreements than available so far. It takes the material from ITIL best practices one step further, by providing a more comprehensive and holistic approach to service agreements.
ISO/IEC 20000 is the corporate standard for achieving quality within IT Service Management. As individuals achieve success in Service Management frameworks such as ITIL®, many organizations have identified the benefits of making the jump to full corporate accreditation. But, having made the decision to invest in this standard, what is the best way to implement adoption in an efficient and successful way? This thorough, practical guide has been put together by real experts with real experience of how ISO/IEC 20000 works in the workplace and in the real world. Part A of this title covers the step by step description of the ISO 20000 implementation process. Part B contains real case studies from organizations who have successfully achieved ISO/IEC accreditation. This Official itSMF guide is unique in that it not only describes the implementation process. It also suggests solutions to common problems and set-backs. An understanding of the many business pressures means that practical guidance on the business case, measuring success (or not), or the need for quick wins are all included in this book, making it an invaluable companion for all those working on an implementation project. A sister guide to the hugely successful Official itSMF Introduction to ISO/IEC 20000 book, readers will find that this book becomes a key asset in delivering a practical, down to earth implementation program.
