ITIL Overview ITIL, formerly an acronym for Information Technology Infrastructure Library, is a set of practices for IT service management (ITSM) that focuses on aligning IT services with the needs of business ITIL is more than 20 years old à Responding to growing dependence on IT, the UK Government's Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency (CCTA) in the 1980s developed a set of recommendations. It recognized that, without standard practices, government agencies and private sector contracts had started independently creating their own IT management practices. Since July 2013, ITIL has been owned by AXELOS, a joint venture between Capita and the Cabinet Office. AXELOS licenses organisations to use the ITIL intellectual property, accredits licensed examination institutes, and manages updates to the framework. The latest editions of ITIL from the Cabinet Office were published in July 2011, it forms the core guidance of best management practice
ITIL as a reference framework ITIL is the most widely adopted framework for IT service management in the world Its practical, no-nonsense approach to the identification, planning, delivery and support of IT services to businesses has revolutionized IT service management ITIL has become a successful mechanism to drive consistency, efficiency and excellence into the business of managing IT services Thousands of practitioners now implement ITIL best practice in their working environments
Service Management A service is something that provides value to customers. Services that customers can directly utilize or consume are known as business services. An example of a business service that has common applicability across many industries would be Payroll Payroll is an IT service that is used to consolidate information, calculate compensation and generate pay cheques on a regular basis, and which relies on other business services such as time tracking or benefits administration to provide the extra information necessary for its calculations.
Pauroll Example In order for Payroll to run, it is supported by a number of technology or infrastructure services An infrastructure service does its work in the background, so that the business does not directly interact with it, but nevertheless this service is necessary as part of the overall value chain to the business service Server administration, database administration and storage administration are all examples of infrastructure services required for the successful delivery of the Payroll business service 8
What are the main drivers ITIL is an approach to IT service management IT organizations have traditionally focused on managing the infrastructure services and technology silos ITIL suggests a more holistic approach to managing services from end to end Managing the entire business service along with its underlying components in a cohesive manner ensures that every aspect of a service is considered (and not just the individual technology silos) so that the required functionality (or utility) and service levels (or warranty) are delivered to the business customer 9
ITIL can help you! Head of IT organization Reduce IT cost, Increase Quality and Decrease Risk Management Improve Decision Making (regarding to what service offer to the customer) Visibility to the total cost of ownership and utilization IT worker Increase Productivity User IT service Provide clear an effective communication 10
How this is done? Reporting a Metric, along well established Process with precise roles! And the organization has to follow it!!! IT IS A PHILOSOFY THAT HAS TO BE FOLOWED 11
ITIL Book ITIL Service Strategy ITIL Service Design ITIL Service Transition ITIL Service Operation ITIL Continual Service Improvement 12
The service lifecycle Service Strategy The lifecycle starts with service strategy understanding Who the IT customers are The service offerings that are required to meet the customers needs The IT capabilities and resources that are required to develop these offerings The requirements for executing them successfully Driven by strategy throughout the course of delivery and support for the service, the IT service provider must always try to ensure that the cost of delivery is consistent with the value delivered to the customer 13
The service lifecycle Service Design Service design ensures that new and changed services are designed effectively to meet customer expectations The technology and architecture required to meet customer needs cost-effectively are an integral part of service design, as are the processes required to manage the services Service management systems and tools to adequately monitor and support new or modified services must be considered, as well as mechanisms for measuring the service levels, the technology, and the efficiency and effectiveness of processes 14
The service life-cycle Service Transition Through the service transition phase of the lifecycle the design is built, tested and moved into production to enable the business customer to achieve the desired value. This phase addresses managing changes: controlling the assets and configuration items (the underlying components such as hardware, software etc.) associated with the new and changed systems service validation testing and transition planning to ensure that users, support personnel and the production environment have been prepared for the release to production 15
The service lifecycle service operation Once transitioned, service operation then delivers the service on an ongoing basis, overseeing the daily overall health of the service This includes: managing disruptions to service through rapid restoration after incidents determining the root cause of problems and detecting trends associated with recurring issues;; handling daily routine end-user requests and managing service access 16
The service lifecycle continual service improvement Enveloping the service lifecycle is continual service improvement (CSI) CSI offers a mechanism for the IT organization to measure and improve the service levels, the technology and the efficiency and effectiveness of IT processes and services 17

ITIL Overall Process 19
Processes: ITIL Service Strategy Strategy Management for IT Services To assess the service provider's offerings, capabilities, competitors as well as current and potential market spaces in order to develop a strategy to serve customers. Once the strategy hasbeen defined, Strategy Management for IT Services is also responsible for ensuring the implementationof the strategy. Service Portfolio Management To manage the service portfolio. Service Portfolio Management ensures that the service provider has the right mix of services to meet requiredbusiness outcomes atan appropriate levelof investment. Financial Management for IT Services To manage the service provider's budgeting, accountingand charging requirements. Demand Management To understand, anticipate and influence customer demand for services. Demand Management works with Capacity Management to ensure that the service provider has sufficient capacity to meet the required demand. Business Relationship Management To maintain a positive relationship with customers. Business Relationship Management identifies the needs of existing and potential customers and ensures that appropriate services are developedto meetthose needs. 20
Strategy Management for IT Services subprocesses Strategic Service Assessment To assess the present situation of the service provider within its current market spaces. This includes a nassessment of current service offerings, customer needs and competing offers from other service providers. Service Strategy Definition To define the overall goals the service provider should pursue in its development, and to identify what services will be offered to what customers or customer segments, based on the results of the Strategic Service Assessment. Service Strategy Execution To define and plan strategic initiatives, and ensure the implementation of those initiatives. 21
ITIL Strategy Management - Roles Service Strategy Manager - supports the IT Steering Group in producing and maintaining the service provider's strategy. This role is also responsible for communicating and implementing the service strategy. IT Steering Group (ISG) - sets the direction and strategy for IT Services. It includes members of senior management from business and IT. The IT Steering Group reviews the business and IT strategies in order to make sure that they are aligned. It also sets priorities of service development programs/ projects. 22
Definitions (ITIL terms and acronyms) used in Strategy Management for IT Services Business Planning Information Business Planning Information includes important input from clients and external service providers, especially for devising the Service Strategy and looking for ways to improve services. This input will highlight, for example, planned business initiatives like the introduction of new product/ service offerings or the expansion into new markets, as well as information on the future development of business activity, especially expected increases in business transaction volumes. This information helps the service organization understand the businesses it serves and their plans for the future, allowing it to offer and develop the right set of services. Service Strategy Plan The Service Strategy Plan (at times referred to as the Service Strategy) is about translating a big idea regarding customer needs into a distinctive and cost-effective set of connected capabilities and resources to satisfy those needs. Strategic Action Plan The Strategic Action Plan sets out the steps required to implement the previously defined Service Strategy, defining specific tasks and responsibilities. Strategic Service Assessment The Strategic Service Assessment is used to gain insight into a service provider's weaknesses, strengths and opportunities prior to developing a Service Strategy. 23

Processes: ITIL Continual Service Improvement Service Review To review business services and infrastructure services on a regular basis. The aim of this process is to improve service quality where necessary, and to identify more economical ways of providing a service where possible. Process Evaluation To evaluate processes on a regular basis. This includes identifying areas where the targeted process metrics are not reached, and holding regular benchmarkings, audits, maturity assessments and reviews. Definition of CSI Initiatives To define specific initiatives aimed at improving services and processes, based on the results of service reviews and process evaluations. The resulting initiatives are either internal initiatives pursued by the service provider on his own behalf, or initiatives which require the customer s cooperation. Monitoring of CSI Initiatives To verify if improvement initiatives are proceeding according to plan, and to introduce corrective measures where necessary. Wiki Link 31

ISO 20000 ISO 20000 promotes the adoption of an integrated process approach to effectively deliver managed services to meet the business and customer requirements". ISO 20000 does not prescribe that its requirements must be met by following the ITIL recommendations, so there are many possible ways to achieve compliance. Introducing ITIL, however, is the most widely used approach for obtaining an ISO 20000 certificate. It is also important to prove that IT processes are documented, actively managed, and continually improved. 39
How ITIL and ISO 20000 are related The basic principles behind ITIL and ISO 20000 are very much in line ITIL certifications are available for individuals only, whereas ISO 20000 is a certification scheme for organizations. ITIL is a rather detailed collection of best practices, while ISO 20000 is an international standard that sets out Service Management requirements for IT organizations. When organizations say they are compliant to ITIL, very often this statement is not verifiable;; a certification according to the ISO 20000 standard means there has been an objective assessment. 40
Recomandation vs. Certification ITIL provides guidance on what should be done in order to offer users adequate IT Services to support their business processes. ITIL qualifications are available for individuals but until recently there was no way for an IT organization to prove that it is working along the ITIL recommendations. The ISO/IEC 20000:2011 standard (abbreviated to ISO 20000 in this wiki) was conceived to fill this gap. In contrast to the ITIL books, ISO 20000 does not offer specific advice on how to design your processes. It is rather a set of requirements which must be met in order to qualify for ISO 20000 certification. 41
