Getting Started– External Assessment– Recommendations for Improvement– Service Improvement Working Party– Joined itSMF– Talked to Other Organisations– Workshopped Assessment & Recommendations– Determined Process Priorities
• Service Level Management• Incident Management
Structured Project Approach
Project Sponsor Project Steering Committee Project Manager Document Driven
– Project Concept Proposals– Funding Proposals– Project Initiation– Formal Project Documentation– Step-by-Step Progress
Quality Approach
Structured Project Approach
Doing the “right” things Go it alone Issues
– Running “The Project”– Producing documentation– Lost sight of the desired outcomes– Delays between each step– Isolated, single stream projects– Resource Contention
Slower than expected progress
Structured Project Approach
Progress was made Service Level Management Project
– Service Catalogue– Service Offerings– Service Level Agreement
Absence of defined process Service Levels not finalised Misalignment between OLAs and UCs Awareness was increasing
Structured Project Approach
Doing the “right” things Training
– 95+% staff – Foundation Certificate– Key stakeholder staff – Managers Certificate
Built up a Library Culture change Pockets of ITIL Improvement realisation
Revitalised Program
Why Change?– Enthusiasm of staff– Waiting for the projects– Keep the momentum going– Higher levels of discussion– Rapid and visible movement forward– Unsure how to implement
