MOF 4.0 is Designed to be Practical,
Understandable, Concise
Phases describe goals,
activities, accountabilities
 What should the phase
 accomplish?
 What general objectives and
 controls should be considered?
 Who is involved?
Service Manage Functions,
(SMFs) offer the details
 SMFs map to major activities in
 phases
 Focus on what to do and how
Management Reviews are
integrated in the phases
 Provide checkpoints
 Identify areas for improvement
IT Deploys Virtualization
Virtualization supports Service Management
improvement by making it easier and cost effective
to achieve higher levels of capacity, availability and
continuity but sometimes there are challenges…

  IT deploys virtual servers to improve
  Cost savings through consolidation
  Better recovery, performance

Two months go by and problems start to appear….
  Business applications are unavailable
    Application servers not aligned on physical server, too many applications
    requiring heavy IO
  Virtual servers are everywhere
    Service desk cannot accurately determine impact analysis
    Business is looking for the ROI evidence
Plan SMFs
The Plan Phase provides guidance on how to plan for and
optimize an IT service strategy

SMF Example Change and Configuration
 Activities                         Considerations
 Initiate a Request for Change (RFC) Key questions:
                                    What kind of information is to be included in the change description? For example, the service that
                                       will be affected, the business benefit, and the exact description of the configuration items to
                                       be changed.
                                    Who can initiate a change? Can anyone in the organization initiate a change?
                                    How will the RFC be categorized and tracked? Does each service maintain its own set of RFCs? How
                                       are RFCs interlinked and cross-referenced?
                                    Is there a specific RFC for common or standard changes?
                                    Inputs:
                                    Request for a change.
                                    Description of the change.
                                    Output:
                                    New RFC.
                                    Best practices:
                                    Keep RFC forms as simple as possible while capturing sufficient information to manage risk.
                                    The RFC should be continually updated throughout the process; it can be initiated without a
                                        thorough analysis or detailed information about the change and then be updated later. It is
                                        important to have easy access to the RFC so that additions can be made to it. Additionally,
                                        organizations can use role authentication to ensure that read and write access is applied at the
                                        right time during the process. Determine who should have permission to read or change the
                                        RFC in each step.
                                    The organization can streamline the RFC process by using pre-populated fields and drop-down
                                        boxes for information such as the type of change, the service affected by the change, and the
                                        applicable technology.

                                                                                                                   *SAMPLE CONTENT

  • 18. Change and Configuration throughout the Lifecycle *SAMPLE CONTENT
  • 19. SMF Example Change and Configuration Activities Considerations Initiate a Request for Change (RFC) Key questions: What kind of information is to be included in the change description? For example, the service that will be affected, the business benefit, and the exact description of the configuration items to be changed. Who can initiate a change? Can anyone in the organization initiate a change? How will the RFC be categorized and tracked? Does each service maintain its own set of RFCs? How are RFCs interlinked and cross-referenced? Is there a specific RFC for common or standard changes? Inputs: Request for a change. Description of the change. Output: New RFC. Best practices: Keep RFC forms as simple as possible while capturing sufficient information to manage risk. The RFC should be continually updated throughout the process; it can be initiated without a thorough analysis or detailed information about the change and then be updated later. It is important to have easy access to the RFC so that additions can be made to it. Additionally, organizations can use role authentication to ensure that read and write access is applied at the right time during the process. Determine who should have permission to read or change the RFC in each step. The organization can streamline the RFC process by using pre-populated fields and drop-down boxes for information such as the type of change, the service affected by the change, and the applicable technology. *SAMPLE CONTENT
  • 20. Support ideas with examples Request for Change Template Information Required Specific Details Description Provide a complete description of the nature of the change. Include: The services affected. The configuration items (CI) to be changed. Current version of the item to be changed. For complex changes, any supporting project documents should be referenced and linked to the RFC. Date that the change is requested Define and control a set date format: For example, 30_Dec_2004 Change initiator: person who submits Include: the request Name. Position. Contact information, such as e-mail address and phone number. Business reason for change Reason for the change Include business impact statement Identify customer that change impacts *SAMPLE CONTENT
