Why ITIL

ITIL Downloads
The British Educational Communications and Technology Agency (BECTA) has developed the Framework for ICT Technical Support .....
It includes many project management disciplines in common with PRINCE2, but has a broader focus to include the necessary integration of Release Management and both functional and non functional testing. IT Service Management as a concept is related but not equivalent to ITIL which, in Version 2, contained a subsection specifically entitled IT Service Management (ITSM). The fundamental purpose of Configuration Management is to establish and maintain the integrity and control of software and hardware products (e.g. servers, source code, patches, documents, CPU’s etc) throughout a project’s life cycle.

A problem is a condition often identified as a result of multiple Incidents that exhibit common symptoms. Being a structured methodology widely recognised and understood, Prince2 provides a common language for all participants in the project. An Ishikawa diagram is typically the result of a brainstorming session in which members of a group offer ideas to improve a product. The guide to IT service management is an important document.

Primarily, the alternatives provide a focus on compliance and measurement and therefore are more aligned with corporate governance than with IT service management per se. BIA points out the critical business processes ad the potential damage which can result from a service disruption.

The available ITSM literature has a distinct operational flavor, but also shades into software quality and architectural concerns (especially related to infrastructure, capacity, and operability), while usually steering clear of project management and actual software development. The CCTA IT Security and Privacy group provided the CCTA IT Security Library input to GITMM, but when CCTA was broken up the security service appropriated this work and suppressed it as part of their turf war over security responsibilities. To help maintain the process, a commitment to training, reviewing the process, and testing the process needs to occur.
