If you are an IT company or an IT division within a company then you can expect to hear, “Where are you in your ITIL implementation?” If you work in the IT industry, and you work for a medium-to-large organization or plan to in your future, then you should think about adding one or more ITIL certifications to your resume—because ITIL will be in your future.
For those of you who are about to begin the ITIL implementation journey, remember to think and talk about the long term, because this journey is measured in years not in months. ITIL is a new approach to continuous improvement. Part of ITIL is the constant improvement of each of the 10 ITIL processes and the inter-process communication. This constant improvement has as its goal to provide IT services in a more cost-effective manner and to better match those services to the present and future needs of the business.
ITIL is a framework of how to manage IT like a business for the business. As such, the ITIL framework does not describe in absolute terms how any of the ITIL processes should be implemented. Those details are left up to the implementer. The goals and key performance indicators for each of the processes is well defined, so that there is a clearly defined road map to measure your success. |
