    ITIL History
      In the late 1980’s, the British govt. asked the Central Computer and
      Telecommunications Agency (CCTA) to structure the IT organisations
      of the British government agencies.


      This resulted in the IT Infrastructure Library, a library of books
       describing best practices in IT management, and a detailed approach
       for the implementation of these best practices.


      The aims of the CCTA in developing the IT Infrastructure Library were:
       – to facilitate the quality management of IT services.
       – increase the efficiency with which the corporate objectives are met.
       – to improve efficiency, increase effectiveness, and reduce risks.
       – to provide codes of practice in support of total quality.

    What is ITIL?
     ITIL is a compilation of best practices in IT Service Management, developed by
      the OGC (Office of Govt. Commerce) and supported by publications,
      qualifications and an international user group.


     ITIL defines the organisational structure and skill requirements of an information
      technology organisation and a set of standard operational management
      procedures to allow the organisation to manage an IT operation and associated IT
      infrastructure.


     ITIL does not set in stone every action you should do on a day-to-day basis as
      that is something which differs from organisation to organisation. Instead, it allows
      the IT Infrastructure Library to be utilised within organisations with existing
      methods and activities in Service Management.


     IT Service Management is concerned with delivering and supporting IT services
      that are appropriate to the business requirements of the organisation.

     Remember about ITIL ..
      Remember :
       – ITIL describes what needs to be done but NOT how it should be done


       – ITIL does NOT define:
         • Every role, job or organisation design
         • Every tool, every other equipment, every required customisation
         • Every process, procedure and task required to be implemented

       – ITIL does NOT claim to be a comprehensive description of everything within IT,
         but it instead contains “best practices” that have observed and accepted in the
         industry

     Service Desk

      Service Desk acts as the Single Point of Contact (SPOC) between the users and
       the IT Services Organization


      ITIL defines customers and users :
       – Customers : People (generally senior managers) who commission, pay for
         and own the IT Services, sometimes referred to as "the business"
       – Users : People who use the services on a day-to-day basis




24
        Kashif Baig - Service Management, Bangalore
ITIL Foundations Certification Course




     Service Desk (contd..)
       The primary functions of the Service Desk are :
        – Incident Control : life cycle management of all Service Requests
        – Communication : keeping the customer informed of progress and advising on
          workarounds


       It handles all incoming calls and only directs them through to the second or third
        tier support when necessary :
        – for the customer, the advantage is that they don’t have to ring around
          searching for the right person to solve their problem
        – for IT personnel, it means that they only have to deal with issues that are
          related to their skills or area of responsibility


        Note:- The Service Desk is not a process - it is a FUNCTION


25
         Kashif Baig - Service Management, Bangalore
ITIL Foundations Certification Course




     Service Desk - Types
       The Service Desk function is known under various names :


        – Call Centre
          • main emphasis on professionally handling large call volumes of telephone-
            based transactions


        – HelpDesk
          • manage, co-ordinate and resolve incidents as quickly as possible


        – Service Desk
          • not only handles incidents, problems and questions but also provides an
            interface for other activities such as change requests, maintenance
            contracts, software licenses, Service Level Management, Configuration
            Management, Availability Management, Financial Management and IT
            Services Continuity Management

26
         Kashif Baig - Service Management, Bangalore
ITIL Foundations Certification Course




     Service Desk - Types
       Many Call Centres and HelpDesks naturally evolve into Service Desks to improve
        and extend overall service to the Customers and the Business


       All three functions share common characteristics :
        – they represent the service provider to the Customer and the User (internal or
          external)
        – they operate on the principle that customer satisfaction and perception is
          critical
        – they depend on blending people, processes and technology to deliver a service




27
         Kashif Baig - Service Management, Bangalore
ITIL Foundations Certification Course




     Service Desk - Structures
       The three types of structure that can be considered are :


        – Local Service Desk
           • to meet local business needs - is practical only until multiple locations
             requiring support services are involved

        – Central Service Desk
           • for organisations having multiple locations - reduces operational costs and
             improves usage of available resources

        – Virtual Service Desk
           • for organisations having multi-country locations - can be situated and
             accessed from anywhere in the world due to advances in network
             performance and telecommunications
           • reduces operational costs and improves usage of available resources

     Incident Management
      An Incident is defined as “ any event which is not part of the standard
       operation of a service and which causes or may cause, an interruption to, or
       a reduction in, the quality of that service “


      The primary goal of Incident Management is to restore normal service operations
       as quickly as possible with the least possible impact on business operations, at a
       cost-effective price, thus ensuring that the optimum levels of service quality and
       availability are maintained


      In lay-man terms, Incident Management is similar to “fire-fighting”


      Inputs for Incident Management mostly come from users (through the Service
       Desk), but can have other sources as well like Automatic Detection Systems or
       Release Management

       Incident Classification is used to :
        – Specify the service with which the incident is related
        – Associate with an SLA where appropriate
        – Select/define the best specialist/group to handle the incident
        – Identify the priority based upon the business impact & urgency
        – Define what questions should be asked or information checked
        – Identify a relationship to match against Known Errors or solutions


       Typically classification consists of three parts:
        – Categorisation
        – Prioritising
        – Matching

     Incident Management - Incident Classification

       Prioritising
               The priority with which Incidents need to be resolved and therefore the
        amount of effort put into the resolution of and recovery from Incidents, will depend
        upon :
        – The impact on the business
        – The urgency with which a resolution/work-around is needed
        – The size, scope and complexity of the Incident
        – The resources available for coping in the meantime and for correcting the fault




46
         Kashif Baig - Service Management, Bangalore
ITIL Foundations Certification Course




     Incident Management - Incident Classification
       All incidents are categorised in order to establish appropriate priorities and
        resolution lead times


       To facilitate lead-times of incident resolution, accurate classification and sufficient
        registration is imperative


       The criteria to consider when assigning priority are:
        – Impact : To what extent an incident results in a deviation from the normal
          service level; aspects are the number of users and the service concerned
        – Urgency : To what extent the solution of an incident can be postponed


                              Priority = Impact x Urgency

       Matching
               Matching is the process whereby the Incident details are compared to
       knowledge that is already present in the organisation. Successful matching could
       give access to proven resolution actions, which should require no further
       investigation effort.

       Incident Management - Escalation
      There are two levels of escalation possible:
       – Transferring an Incident from first-line to second-line support groups or further is called
         “Functional Escalation” and primarily takes places because of lack of knowledge or
         expertise
       – “Hierarchical Escalation” can take place at any moment during the resolution process
         when it is likely that resolution of an Incident will not be in time or satisfactory

     Problem Management

        A problem is a “condition identified from multiple incidents exhibiting
         common symptoms, or from a single significant incident, indicative of a
         single error, for which the cause is unknown.”


        The goal of Problem Management is to minimize the adverse impact of incidents
         and problems on the business caused by errors within the IT Infrastructure, and
         to prevent reoccurrence of incidents related to these errors.


        While Incident Management focuses on quick resolution of incidents, Problem
         Management analyses the root cause of the incidents.

     Problem Management (contd..)

        Problem Definition
                Many criteria can be used to define a Problem including :
          – A number of related incidents
          – Incident closed via work-around (temporary fix)
          – Major incident
          – Information from third parties

     Problem Management (contd..)

     Problem Management Terminology
        – Problem
              • The unknown root cause of one or more incidents (not necessarily – or
                often – solved at the time the incident is closed)

        – Error
              • A condition that exists after the successful diagnosis of the root cause
                of a Problem

        – Known Error
              • Error + solution and/or workaround has been found

        – Known Error DataBase (KEDB)
              • Repository of known errors for the benefit and utilisation of Incident
                Management

62

     Problem Management (contd..)

      Problems can be identified from incidents. When a problem is defined, diagnosis
       takes place to find the root cause of the problem, and then a change request is
       entered to correct the problem

     Problem Management (contd..)

        The "Funnel Effect" is shown below - multiple incidents are usually, after
         investigation, re-classified as a smaller number of problems, which are also re-
         analyzed and (usually) reclassified as yet a smaller number of known errors,
         which usually, after further investigation, end up resulting in a smaller number of
         RFCs




64
         Kashif Baig - Service Management, Bangalore

     Problem Management (contd..)
        The primary functions of Problem Management are :
          – Problem Control: identifying the real underlying causes of incidents in
            order to prevent future reoccurrences




65
         Kashif Baig - Service Management, Bangalore
ITIL Foundations Certification Course




     Problem Management (contd..)
        – Error Control : the processes involved in successful correction of Known
          Errors. The objective is to change IT components to remove Known Errors
          affecting the IT infrastructure and thus to prevent any recurrences of
          incidents

     Problem Management (contd..)

     Investigation and Diagnosis of Problems
              The various methods include :
         – Ishikawa diagrams
         – Kepner and Tregoe
         – Brainstorming sessions
         – Voting
         – Flowcharts
         – Common sense
         – Deduction




67
       Kashif Baig - Service Management, Bangalore
ITIL Foundations Certification Course




     Problem Management (contd..)

        Proactive Problem Management comprises of :
          – Trend Analysis
                • Identifying ‘fragile’ components of an IT Infrastructure and investigate
                  the reasons for this ‘fragility’

          – Targeting preventive actions
                • Trend analysis can lead to the identification of faults in the IT
                  Infrastructure which can then be analysed and corrected via Problem
                  and Error Control

          – Improving procedures


          – Research other sources of knowledge about known errors

     Problem Management (contd..)

     Known Error DataBase (KEDB) :


             Problem Management reduces a Problem into an Error after it has
       successfully identified the root cause of the Problem. When a solution or a
       work-around is identified for this Error, it is transformed into a Known Error
             The Known Error DataBase is a repository containing all these Known
       Errors. The KEDB is essentially for the utilisation of the Incident Management
       process and to prevent Incidents from becoming Problems

     Problem Management (contd..)

     Incident v/s Problem Management :


        Incident Management is the basis for defining Problems and information from
         Problem Management is made available for Incident Matching.


        The differences between Incident & Problem Management are :
          – Objectives are different
          – Different skills/expertise required
          – Time is less of an issue within Problem Management
          – Activities carried out are different

     Change Management

        The goal of Change Management is to ensure that standardised methods and
         procedures are used for efficient handling of all Changes, in order to minimise
         the impact of Change-related incidents and to improve day-to-day operations.


        The main aims of Change Management are :
          – Minimal disruption of services
          – Reduction in back-out activities
          – Economic utilisation of resources involved in the change

        Change Categories
          – Category 0 : Is executed without prior contact. Used for workarounds/
            temporary fixes
          – Category 1 : Little or no impact. Change Manager authorises this RFC
          – Category 2 : Significant impact. CAB discussion needed. Change Manager
            requests advice on authorisation and planning
          – Category 3 : Major impact. Considerable resources required. Senior
            Management need to be a part of the CAB.


        Change Priorities
          – Urgent: change is required now, in order to achieve the service levels
          – High: as soon as possible, otherwise risk to current or future production
          – Normal: change solves serious mistakes or a lack in functionality
          – Low: change yields improvements that are not required by contract

     Release Management

        Release Management undertakes the planning, design, build, configuration and
         testing of hardware and software to create a set of Release components for a
         live environment


        Release Management takes a holistic view of a Change to an IT service and
         ensures that all aspects of a Release, both technical and non-technical, are
         considered


        The input to the Release Management process comes from the Change
         Management process




92

     Release Management (contd..)

     Release Categories
        A Release consists of the new or changed software and/or hardware required to
         implement approved Changes


        Releases are categorised as :
          – Major software Releases and hardware upgrades, normally containing large
            areas of new functionality, some of which may make intervening fixes to
            Problems redundant. A major upgrade or Release usually supersedes all
            preceding minor upgrades, Releases and emergency fixes
          – Minor software Releases and hardware upgrades, normally containing
            small enhancements and fixes, some of which may have already been
            issued as emergency fixes. A minor upgrade or Release usually supersedes
            all preceding emergency fixes
          – Emergency software and hardware fixes, normally containing the
            corrections to a small number of known Problems

     Release Management (contd..)

        Releases can be divided based on the release unit into :
          – Delta Release : is a release of only that part of the software which has been
            changed. For ex: Security patches to plug bugs in a software
          – Full Release : means that the entire software program will be release
            again. For ex : an entire version of an application
          – Packaged Release : is a combination of many changes . For ex : an
            Operating System image containing the applications as well

               A Release policy should include :
         –   Release naming and numbering conventions
         –   A definition of major and minor Releases, plus a policy on issuing
             emergency fixes
         –   Frequency of Releases
         –   Expected deliverables for Releases (e.g. installation instructions and
             Release notes)
         –   Guidance as to how and where Releases should be documented (e.g. which
             tool to use and how)
         –   A policy on the production of back-out plans

      Configuration Management

         Almost every Service Management process depends upon accurate IT
          infrastructure information. Configuration Management :
           – Provides accurate information on configurations and their documentation to
             support all the other Service Management processes
           – Accounts for all the IT assets and configurations within the organisation
           – Verifies the configuration records against the infrastructure and corrects any
             exceptions


         Configuration Management v/s Asset Management
                 Configuration Management revolves around the lifecycles of CI’s and their
          relationships, whereas Asset Management is primarily concerned with the
          financial value of assets




101
          Kashif Baig - Service Management, Bangalore
ITIL Foundations Certification Course



      Configuration Management (contd..)
         A configuration item (CI) is a component of, or directly related, to the IT-
          infrastructure. CI's include: hardware, software, documentation, processes and
          procedures


         Examples of CIs :
           –   Personal computers, Network components, Service Level Agreements,
               Manuals, Applications, etc.


         Examples of the relationships between CIs :
           –   Hierarchically subjected to (parent-child relation)
           –   Is part of (a processor is part of a PC)
           –   Interfaced with (a system is connected to a printer)
           –   Uses (a program uses a subroutine)
           –   Is a copy of (program is a copy of...)
           –   Is related to (attribute) (serial number, location, status)
102
          Kashif Baig - Service Management, Bangalore
ITIL Foundations Certification Course



      Configuration Management DataBase (CMDB)

        –   Details about CIs are stored in the Configuration Management DataBase
            (CMDB) from which queries about the IT Infrastructure can be answered


        –   The details of a CI that are mentioned in a CMDB include :
             • Unique Identifier            (service tag)
             • Attributes                   (supplier, price)
             • Status                       (ordered, testing, production, archived)
             • History                      (past incidents, applied changes)
             • Category                     (hardware, software)
             • Relationship                 (is connected to, is a part of)

        –   The scope of the Configuration Management database is defined by the
            area of responsibility of the IT organization


        –   The level of detail is defined by the need for information of the IT
            management processes, the control of the information and the costs and
            benefits of a CMDB

      Business Continuity Management and IT Service Continuity Management


         Business Continuity Management (BCM) is concerned with managing
          risks to ensure that at all times an organization can continue operating to, at
          least, a predetermined minimum level. The BCM process involves reducing the
          risk to an acceptable level and planning for the recovery of business processes
          should a risk materialize and a disruption to the business occur.


         IT Service Continuity Management (ITSCM) must be a part of the overall
          BCM (Business Continuity Management) process and is dependent upon
          information derived through this process. ITSCM is focused on the continuity of
          IT Services to the business. BCM is concerned with the management of
          Business Continuity that incorporates all services upon which the business
          depends, one of which is IT.

  • 27. ITIL Foundations Certification Course Service Desk - Types  Many Call Centres and HelpDesks naturally evolve into Service Desks to improve and extend overall service to the Customers and the Business  All three functions share common characteristics : – they represent the service provider to the Customer and the User (internal or external) – they operate on the principle that customer satisfaction and perception is critical – they depend on blending people, processes and technology to deliver a service 27 Kashif Baig - Service Management, Bangalore
  • 28. ITIL Foundations Certification Course Service Desk - Structures  The three types of structure that can be considered are : – Local Service Desk • to meet local business needs - is practical only until multiple locations requiring support services are involved – Central Service Desk • for organisations having multiple locations - reduces operational costs and improves usage of available resources – Virtual Service Desk • for organisations having multi-country locations - can be situated and accessed from anywhere in the world due to advances in network performance and telecommunications • reduces operational costs and improves usage of available resources 28 Kashif Baig - Service Management, Bangalore

  • 36. ITIL Foundations Certification Course Service Support  Service Desk  Incident Management  Problem Management  Change Management  Release Management  Configuration Management 36 Kashif Baig - Service Management, Bangalore
  • 37. ITIL Foundations Certification Course Incident Management  An Incident is defined as “ any event which is not part of the standard operation of a service and which causes or may cause, an interruption to, or a reduction in, the quality of that service “  The primary goal of Incident Management is to restore normal service operations as quickly as possible with the least possible impact on business operations, at a cost-effective price, thus ensuring that the optimum levels of service quality and availability are maintained  In lay-man terms, Incident Management is similar to “fire-fighting”  Inputs for Incident Management mostly come from users (through the Service Desk), but can have other sources as well like Automatic Detection Systems or Release Management 37 Kashif Baig - Service Management, Bangalore
  • 38. ITIL Foundations Certification Course 38 Kashif Baig - Service Management, Bangalore
  • 39. ITIL Foundations Certification Course Incident Management – Functions 39 Kashif Baig - Service Management, Bangalore

  • 42. ITIL Foundations Certification Course Incident Management - Functions  Classification and initial support – Inputs • recorded Incident details • configuration details from the CMDB • response from Incident matching against Problems and Known Errors – Actions • matching against Known Errors and Problems • informing Problem Management of the existence of new Problems and of unmatched or multiple Incidents • assigning impact and urgency, and thereby defining priority • providing initial support (assess Incident details, find quick resolution) • closing the Incident/routing to a specialist support group, and informing User(s). – Outputs • RFC for Incident resolution • updated Incident details, and • Work-arounds for Incidents, or Incident routed to second- or third-line support 42 Kashif Baig - Service Management, Bangalore
  • 43. ITIL Foundations Certification Course Incident Management - Incident Classification  Incident Classification is used to : – Specify the service with which the incident is related – Associate with an SLA where appropriate – Select/define the best specialist/group to handle the incident – Identify the priority based upon the business impact & urgency – Define what questions should be asked or information checked – Identify a relationship to match against Known Errors or solutions  Typically classification consists of three parts: – Categorisation – Prioritising – Matching 43 Kashif Baig - Service Management, Bangalore
  • 44. ITIL Foundations Certification Course Incident Management - Incident Classification  Categorisation – Application • Service not available • Application bug/query – Hardware • Automatic alert • Printer not printing – Service Request • Password forgotten – Security Incident • Virus 44 Kashif Baig - Service Management, Bangalore
  • 45. ITIL Foundations Certification Course Incident Management - Example coding system for Incident classification 45 Kashif Baig - Service Management, Bangalore
  • 46. ITIL Foundations Certification Course Incident Management - Incident Classification  Prioritising The priority with which Incidents need to be resolved and therefore the amount of effort put into the resolution of and recovery from Incidents, will depend upon : – The impact on the business – The urgency with which a resolution/work-around is needed – The size, scope and complexity of the Incident – The resources available for coping in the meantime and for correcting the fault 46 Kashif Baig - Service Management, Bangalore
  • 47. ITIL Foundations Certification Course Incident Management - Incident Classification  All incidents are categorised in order to establish appropriate priorities and resolution lead times  To facilitate lead-times of incident resolution, accurate classification and sufficient registration is imperative  The criteria to consider when assigning priority are: – Impact : To what extent an incident results in a deviation from the normal service level; aspects are the number of users and the service concerned – Urgency : To what extent the solution of an incident can be postponed Priority = Impact x Urgency 47 Kashif Baig - Service Management, Bangalore
  • 48. ITIL Foundations Certification Course Incident Management - Example of a priority coding system 48 Kashif Baig - Service Management, Bangalore
  • 49. ITIL Foundations Certification Course Incident Management - Incident Classification  Matching Matching is the process whereby the Incident details are compared to knowledge that is already present in the organisation. Successful matching could give access to proven resolution actions, which should require no further investigation effort. 49 Kashif Baig - Service Management, Bangalore
