Architecture and Patterns for IT Service Management, Resource Planning, and Governance
Author: Charles T. Betz
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0123850185
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 474
Book Description
Information technology supports efficient operations, enterprise integration, and seamless value delivery, yet itself is too often inefficient, un-integrated, and of unclear value. This completely rewritten version of the bestselling Architecture and Patterns for IT Service Management, Resource Planning and Governance retains the original (and still unique) approach: apply the discipline of enterprise architecture to the business of large scale IT management itself. Author Charles Betz applies his deep practitioner experience to a critical reading of ITIL 2011, COBIT version 4, the CMMI suite, the IT portfolio management literature, and the Agile/Lean IT convergence, and derives a value stream analysis, IT semantic model, and enabling systems architecture (covering current topics such as CMDB/CMS, Service Catalog, and IT Portfolio Management). Using the concept of design patterns, the book then presents dozens of visual models documenting challenging problems in integrating IT management, showing how process, data, and IT management systems must work together to enable IT and its business partners. The edition retains the fundamental discipline of traceable process, data, and system analysis that has made the first edition a favored desk reference for IT process analysts around the world. This best seller is a must read for anyone charged with enterprise architecture, IT planning, or IT governance and management. - Lean-oriented process analysis of IT management, carefully distinguished from an IT functional model - Field-tested conceptual information model with definitions and usage scenarios, mapped to both the process and system architectures - Integrated architecture for IT management systems - Synthesizes Enterprise Architecture, IT Service Management, and IT Portfolio Management in a practical way

Pages : 317
Book Description
If you read through this book and still dont believe there is a critical need for IT Service Management then good luck seeing if you can survive in IT for the next 5 years. Agile, DevOps, Lean IT, Virtualization, Application Lifecycle Management, Cloud Computing and many other technologies are rapidly pulling IT in many directions. These modern ways of operating IT to cope with a world of rapid change will not go away. Somehow they need to be pulled together to avoid the chaos. Service Management is the glue needed to hold these all together. There is no IT value for the business until the point a service is received. For this reason, this book is written for IT leaders, managers and practitioners from a Service Management perspective. Having the best development practices, be it Agile, DevOps or others means little if a service is not delivered to the business. When they need it. High Velocity ITSM is about transitioning the IT Organization from traditional waterfall slower service development and support to a service delivery organization operating at high velocity. This book provides practical guidance for: ? Transitioning IT towards high velocity ITSM ? Using Agile and DevOps for rapid service build ? Using Lean IT to operate at high velocity ? Streamlining your ITSM management processes ? Building a Lean IT CSI Program ? Learning and applying modern IT methods and much more!

ITSM Process Assessment Supporting ITIL (TIPA)
Author: BĂ©atrix Barafort
Publisher: Van Haren
ISBN: 9401801266
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
The key to any successful IT Service Management solution are strong, clear processes that are fit for purpose. The continual cycle of service improvements must therefore look at the existing processes and assess how effective they are within changing business requirements. This innovative title not only looks at this fundamental process assessment, it does it using the key ISO/IEC standard in this area. In brief, this title explains the meeting between two standards: ITIL: the de facto standard in IT Service Management. ISO/IEC 15504 Information technology - Process assessment Readers can therefore be confident of a strong, well-thought out and solid approach which will help identify: The concepts of process assessment and process maturity How to plan and perform a process assessment How to use the approach How to launch an improvement process starting with an assessment project Because it focuses on 10 key processes the TIPA framework can be applied with equal success to ITILv2, ITIL v3 or to the ISO/IEC 20000. This manual will also convey valuable information for understanding the roles and differences between: process assessment, traditional conformity assessment, audit and self-assessment suite. Finally, it is illustrated with real-life case studies, which highlight what should be done and what should be avoided. The reader will thus learn process assessment based on genuine experiences.
