1 Common IT Service Management Metrics, Critical Success Factors (CSFs) and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) Manage quantity and quality of IT service needed: percentage reduction in SLA targets missed percentage reduction in SLA targets threatened percentage increase in Customer perception of SLA achievements via CSS responses percentage reduction in SLA breaches caused because of third party support contracts (Underpinning Contracts) percentage reduction in SLA breaches caused because of internal Operational Level Agreements (OLA s). Deliver service as previously agreed at affordable costs: total number and percentage increase in fully documented SLAs in place percentage increase of SLAs agreed against operational services being run percentage increase in completeness of Service Catalogue versus operational services percentage improvement in the Service Delivery costs percentage reduction in the cost of monitoring and reporting of SLAs percentage increase in the speed and accuracy of developing SLAs. Manage business interface: increased percentage of Services covered by SLAs documented and agreed processes and procedures are in place reduction in the time to respond to and implement SLA requests increased percentage of SLA reviews completed on time reduction in the percentage of outstanding SLAs for annual renegotiation reduction in the percentage of SLAs requiring s (for example targets not attainable; s in usage levels) percentage increase in the number of OLA s and third Party contracts in place documentary evidence that issues raised at service and SLA reviews are being followed up and resolved (e.g. via the CSIP)? reduction in the number and severity of SLA breaches effective review and follow-up of all SLA, OLA and underpinning contract breaches. Accurate business forecasts: production of workload forecasts on time percentage accuracy of forecasts of business trends timely incorporation of business plans into Plan reduction in the number of variances from the business plans and Plans. Knowledge of current and future technologies: increased ability to monitor performance and throughput of all services and components timely justification and implementation of new technology in line with business requirements (time, cost and functionality) reduction in the use of old technology causing breached SLAs due to problems with support or performance.

2 Ability to demonstrate cost-effectiveness: a reduction in panic buying reduction in the over-capacity of IT accurate forecasts of planned expenditure reduction in the business disruption caused by a lack of adequate IT capacity relative reduction in the cost of production of the Plan. Ability to plan and implement the appropriate IT capacity to match business needs: percentage reduction in the number of s due to poor performance percentage reduction in lost business due to inadequate capacity all new services are implemented which match Service Level Requirements (SLRs) increased percentage of recommendations made by Management are acted upon reduction in the number of SLA breaches due to either poor service performance or poor component performance. Manage availability and reliability of IT service: percentage reduction in the unavailability of services and components percentage increase in the reliability of services and components effective review and follow-up of all SLA, OLA and underpinning contract breaches percentage improvement in overall end-to-end availability of services percentage reduction in the number and impact of service breaks improvement in the MTBF (mean time between failures) improvement in the MTBSI (mean time between system incidents) reduction in the MTTR (mean time to repair). Satisfy business needs for access to IT services: percentage reduction in the unavailability of services percentage reduction of the cost of business overtime due to unavailable IT percentage reduction in critical time failures, e.g. specific business peak and priority availability needs are planned for percentage improvement in business and Users satisfied with service (by CSS results). of IT infrastructure achieved at optimum costs: percentage reduction in the cost of unavailability percentage improvement in the Service Delivery costs timely completion of regular risk analysis and system review timely completion of regular cost-benefit analysis established for infrastructure Component Failure Impact Analysis (CFIA) percentage reduction in failures of third party performance on MTTR/MTBF against contract targets reduced time taken to complete (or update) a risk analysis reduced time taken to review system resilience reduced time taken to complete an Plan timely production of management reports percentage reduction in the incidence of operational reviews uncovering security and reliability exposures in application designs.
