- 3. DEFINITION OF ITIL ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) is a set of best practices and guidelines for IT service management (ITSM) ITIL provides a framework for managing IT services, covering processes, procedures, and tasks to improve efficiency, effectiveness, and customer satisfaction ITIL provide the directions to the organization and its people utilizing the IT for Changings, Transforming, Developing the business
- 4. History of ITIL 1980s: ITIL was developed by the UK government’s Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency (CCTA). Its goal was to improve IT service efficiency and quality for public and private organizations by standardizing practices. 1990s: ITIL gained widespread adoption, especially in Europe, as organizations realized the benefits of standardized IT service management. 2001 (ITIL Version 2): ITIL was revised to focus on specific ITSM processes and service support. This version saw global adoption as organizations sought more structured approaches to IT service management. 2007 (ITIL Version 3): This version introduced the concept of the Service Lifecycle, emphasizing the full lifecycle of IT services from strategy to continual improvement. It was a more holistic approach that incorporated feedback and the importance of service delivery throughout its entire life. 2019 (ITIL 4): The latest version, ITIL 4, was released to reflect modern technologies like Agile, DevOps, and Lean. ITIL 4 provides a more flexible, adaptable approach to ITSM, focusing on co-creation of value through IT services, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
- 5. WHY ITIL IS IMPORTANT? • Alignment of IT with Business Goals • Improved Service Quality • Improving project delivery success. • Offering maximum value to customers. • Enhancing resources and capabilities. • Planning processes with specific goals in mind. • Clearly defines roles for each task. • Monitor, measure and optimize service provider performance. • It helps to control IT investment and budget. Overall, ITIL aims to improve service quality, reduce costs, and enhance customer satisfaction by promoting a structured approach to managing IT services.
- 7. WHY SERVICE STRATEGY • Alignment with Business Goals: Ensures that IT services are not just reactive but actively contribute to the business’s growth and strategic objectives. • Value Delivery: Focuses on understanding and delivering value to the customer through services, ensuring that IT investments yield positive business outcomes. • Cost Optimization: Helps the organization manage its IT resources efficiently, balancing service quality with costs to provide a sustainable business model.
- 8. SERVICE STRATEGY Service Portfolio Management Ensures that the service provider has the right mix of services to meet business outcomes, balancing investments in new services and existing ones. Financial Management Manages budgeting, accounting, and charging for IT services to ensure they are delivered cost-effectively. Demand Management Predicts and manages the demand for services, ensuring the service provider is prepared for varying levels of service use. Business Relationship Management Establishes and maintains a relationship with the customer to understand their needs and expectations
- 9. WHY SERVICE DESIGN • Alignment with Business Needs: Ensures that IT services are designed to meet the specific requirements of the business and its customers. • Risk Reduction: By considering factors like capacity, availability, and security during the design phase, organizations can minimize risks associated with service delivery. • Cost Efficiency: Effective service design can lead to more efficient resource usage, reducing unnecessary costs in the long term. • Improved Customer Satisfaction: Well-designed services that meet customer needs lead to higher satisfaction levels and better user experiences.
- 10. SERVICE DESIGN Service Level Management (SLM) Ensures that agreed-upon service levels (SLAs) are defined, monitored, and met throughout the service lifecycle. Capacity Management Ensures that IT resources are sufficient to meet current and future service demands without waste. Availability Management Focuses on ensuring that services are available as per the agreed levels, minimizing downtime and disruptions. IT Service Continuity Management (ITSCM) Ensures that services can be recovered quickly in the event of a disaster or major incident. Information Security Management Protects the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information related to the services. Supplier Management Manages supplier relationships and ensures that external services meet organizational requirements
- 11. WHY SERVICE TRANSITION • Risk Mitigation: Reduces potential service disruptions. • Efficient Change Management: Streamlines assessment and implementation of changes. • Service Readiness: Ensures readiness of services for deployment. • Minimized Downtime: Decreases service interruptions during transitions. • Knowledge Transfer: Prepares support teams with essential information. • Alignment with Business Needs: Ensures services meet organizational requirements. • Improved Communication: Enhances coordination among stakeholders. • Documentation: Provides records for compliance and audits. • Continuous Improvement: Facilitates learning for better future transitions.
- 12. SERVICE TRANSITION Change Management Aims to ensure that changes are assessed, approved, and implemented with minimal risk to existing services. It involves evaluating the impact, risk, and benefits of proposed changes. Release and Deployment Management Manages the planning, scheduling, and control of the release and deployment of new or modified services into the live environment. This process includes creating release packages and ensuring that they are deployed smoothly. Service Asset and Configuration Management Maintains information about service assets (hardware, software, etc.) and their configurations. It ensures that accurate and up-to-date information is available for managing services. Knowledge Management Ensures that information and knowledge about services, processes, and improvements are captured, shared, and made available to support decision-making.
- 13. WHY SERVICE OPERATION • Operational Efficiency: Ensures that IT services are managed efficiently, reducing waste and optimizing resource usage. • User Satisfaction: By effectively managing incidents and requests, organizations can enhance user experience and satisfaction. • Service Stability: Through proactive problem management, organizations can improve service stability and reduce the frequency of incidents. • Compliance and Security: Ensures that access to IT services is managed securely, protecting sensitive information and complying with regulations.
- 14. SERVICE OPERATION Service Delivery • Ensure that IT services are delivered according to agreed-upon Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and that they meet the needs of users and the organization. Incident Managemen • Restore normal service operation as quickly as possible when disruptions occur, minimizing the impact on business operations. Problem Managemen • Identify and resolve the root causes of incidents to prevent their recurrence, improving overall service stability. Request Fulfillment • Manage and fulfill user requests for services, such as access to applications or information. Access Management • Ensure that users have the appropriate access rights to IT services while maintaining security and compliance.
- 15. CSI • The Deming Cycle (PDCA): A framework used for continual improvement, consisting of four stages: o Plan: Identify improvement opportunities and create action plans. o Do: Implement the improvement plans. o Check: Measure and evaluate the results against objectives. o Act: Make adjustments based on the evaluation to refine the process further. • Service Review: Conduct regular reviews of services to assess performance against SLAs and identify improvement areas. • Process Evaluation: Assess ITSM processes to identify inefficiencies, bottlenecks, or areas for enhancement.
