Management in the world.
Set of books on CD-ROM and hard-copy
• First published in 1989 in the U.K.
• Public Domain. © of the Office of Government Commerce (OGC)
• Increasing following in North America.
Framework of comprehensive, consistent and coherent best practices:
• To align IT services with the current and future needs of the business and its customers

ITIL
(Information Technology Infrastructure Library)
SEI CMM
(Capability Maturity Model)
Based on defining best-practice processes for IT service delivery and support, rather than defining a broad-based control framework. It focuses on the method.
Is organized into sets of texts which are defined by related functions:
IT Service Management
service support
service delivery
managerial
software support
computer operations
security management
Environmental
ITIL Initiative
Focus
For H2 ‘04
Captures best practices in IT that can be used to deliver “customer focused quality services and support” to their customers.
ITIL Service Management does not provide a framework for software development -- this is best captured by the SEI CMM .
The SEI Capability Maturity Model (CMM www.sei.cmu.edu/cmm/cmm.html) defines practices and processes around application development (maintenance, enhancement and net new).
Recognized as a useful framework for improving software development processes and application quality.
Creates creates an overlying project management, process improvement and quality measurement structure that is used for continuous improvement.
CMM does not provide a framework for operations and support of the applications and underlying infrastructure.
ITIL and CMM are complementary and have become the industry's leading defacto best practices.

Objectives
• Achieve ITIL Capability Level 3 for the following Service Support function and processes:
Service Desk (H2 2004)
Incident Management (H2 2004)
Problem Management (H2 2004)
Change Management (H2 2004)
Configuration Management (H2 2004)
Release Management (H1 2005)
• Position TSDC Service Support processes for BS 15000 Certification on IT Service
Management practices.
• Achieve ITIL Foundation, Practitioner and Service Manager certifications for key staff.
•
Deliver ITIL Awareness training to the majority of TSDC IM, AM and PDG staff.
Scope
• Process and procedure gap analysis
•
Process and procedure development
• Organization change to support processes
• Tool customization (minor) to support processes
•
Process roll-out and training
• 3rd party ITIL Assessment
• ITIL training
August 2004 5
IM, AM (ERP and CAS) and PDG organizations will be required to follow updated Incident Management, Problem Management , Configuration
Management and Change Management processes, as well as effectively leverage TSDC's Service Desk function.
For example, the Incident Management process will define how
Incidents / Issues are to be addressed, whether they are identified by the user, identified and resolved by AM and IM organizations.
Application Management (ERP and CAS): The ITIL Initiative will have minimal effect on Application Development practices. The ITIL Initiative will work to keep terminology and interfaces between CMM and ITIL as clear and clean as possible.
Project Delivery : The ITIL Initiative will have minimal effect on Project
Delivery practices.
August 2004 6
Take the ITIL Awareness Web Based Training prior to Sept
30, 2004 to provide you with an overview of ITIL and the
ITIL Initiative.
Take process specific training in October and November
2004 to support the roll-out of the updated processes and procedures.
For designated Team Leads and Managers
• September: Review and provide input into Process Development and Roll-Out Planning prior to training and roll-out to the TSDC.
• October & November: Take "Train the Trainer" sessions and work with the Process Teams to deliver training to key staff on updated practices for the affected processes.
August 2004 7
2 - 3 hours for the ITIL Awareness Training
Training sessions to affected staff on updated Incident
Management, Service Desk, Problem Management,
Change Management and Configuration Management. This will depend on the extent of the planned changes. (work to define the changes is currently underway)
The ITIL Process Teams will be in contact with designated
Team Leads and Managers to identify what groups will be affected by any process changes.
