<small>Mon, 29 August 2011</small>
Ticket Volume is a weekly ITSM podcast where host and InvGate product specialist Matt Beran chats with different IT and thought leaders about Service Management.


We continue to bring our ITIL Wiki in line with the version of the ITIL Process Map that has just received the ITIL&reg; Licensed Product logo by APMG. This meant updating the descriptions of sub-processes and ITIL terms in [[Financial Management]]. The [[Checklist Financial Analysis|checklist Financial Analysis]] now has a new section on financing options.
In the 69th episode, Matt Beran and Stefan Kempter talk about IT Process Wiki, the free ITIL resource from IT Process Maps, and they explore the origins and ideas of YaSM, a streamlined set of service management processes.


Thanks, Matt, for the invitation to participate in your podcast. It's been a real pleasure!

==ITIL Process Map for ITIL 4==


We've updated the descriptions of the sub-processes in [[Service Portfolio Management]], as well as the definitions of the terms [[Service Portfolio Management#Strategic Plan|Strategic Plan]] and [[Service Portfolio Management#Strategic Service Assessment|Strategic Service Assessment]]. There's also a revised [[Checklist Service Portfolio|Service Portfolio checklist]].

[[ITIL 4]], the latest release of ITIL, is not a minor overhaul of the previous ITIL V3 but a completely revised body of knowledge.


==== Recent changes to "Information Security Management" ====

==<span id="2023-01-08">15th anniversary of the IT Process Wiki</span>==


The term "Information Security Management" is now used consistently, in line with ITIL V3. We renamed the process "IT Security Management" to [[IT Security Management|Information Security Management]] and adjusted descriptions of sub-processes where necessary. The linked data objects come with changed descriptions. A new data object was created: The [[IT Security Management#Underpinning-Information-Security-Policy|Underpinning Information Security Policy]] (underpinning policies support the overal [[IT Security Management#Security-Policy|Information Security Policy]], covering special topics like the usage of e-mails. The changes also concern the process owner of Information Security Management: The [[Roles within ITIL V3#Information Security Manager|Information Security Manager]].

==== Recent changes to "Architecture Management" ====
It is now 15 years since IT Process Maps published the first version of the free ITIL&reg; Wiki, and over the years the 'IT Process Wiki' has grown into one of the most popular destinations on the internet for those who want to learn about the IT Infrastructure Library ITIL&reg; and IT service management best practices.
[[Image:It-architecture-management.jpg|thumb|100px|right|none|alt=ITIL Architecture Management|[[IT Architecture Management|Architecture Management]]]]


<small>Fri, 26 August 2011</small>
Millions of visits to our Wikis in English, [https://wiki.de.it-processmaps.com/index.php/Hauptseite German] and [https://wiki.es.it-processmaps.com/index.php/Portada Spanish] from more than 190 countries are proof that there is strong demand for ITIL and its best practice recommendations!


We renamed the process "IT Architecture Management" to [[IT Architecture Management|Architecture Management]], to allow for the fact that the process is not limited to technical architectures. This process now produces an [[IT Architecture Management#Enterprise-Architecture|Enterprise Architecture (EA)]] and [[IT Architecture Management#Application-Framework|Application Frameworks]]. The changes also concern the process owner of ITIL Architecture Management: The [[Roles within ITIL V3#Enterprise Architect|Enterprise Architect]].
Thank you so much for the great feedback throughout the years!

[[ITIL 4]] no longer defines a specific set of processes that we can translate into process templates - but organizations will surely need to define their processes also in the new world of ITIL 4.

Microsoft&reg; Teams - a solution for collaborating and sharing content - can provide the technical platform for a service management office (SMO).
 
This collaboration platform is particularly useful if you carry out your ITIL&reg; initiative at different locations or with a virtual team.
 
In our new video, Stefan Kempter explains the concept of the SMO and shows a few practical examples of how setting up a service management office based on MS Teams.

When presenting the YaSM service management model to someone who has never heard of it before, we get frequently asked whether YaSM is a lean or light version of ITIL&reg;.
 
YaSM is definitely lighter than ITIL&reg;. But we don't want YaSM service management to be confused with what is often called "ITIL lite" or "lean ITIL" because we think the existing approaches are often flawed!

It's easy to get lost in the details of the service management frameworks and there is always a danger of loosing sight of the big picture. We shouldn't allow this to happen, so we've created a video series about 'The simple principles of good service management'.

The Configuration Management System (CMS) represents a set of rules for deploying releases into the live operational environment, defining different approaches for releases depending on their urgency and impact.
 
A CMS may manage more than one physical Configuration Management Databases (CMDB). Its underlying structure is defined by the Configuration Model, a logical model of the IT organization’s service assets.

<small>Mon, 13 November 2017</small>
The Underpinning Contract (UC) is a contract between an IT service provider and a third party. The third party provides supporting services that enable the service provider to deliver a service to a customer. Therefore, Underpinning Contracts must be aligned with the customer-facing Service Level Agreements  (SLAs).

Service providers need a consistent, professional approach to managing incidents and service requests, because bad customer support drives away customers!
 
So, it's not surprising that there is a strong emphasis on support processes in all service management frameworks and standards.
 
Indeed, incident management is probably the best-know process in these frameworks, but quite a few more processes play their part in getting customer support right.

The ITIL RACI matrix ("responsibility assignment matrix") provides a summary of the ITIL roles and their levels of responsibility in the ITIL processes.
 
The RASCI model is an extended variant of the commonly known RACI model, which defines the following responsibilities: R - Responsible, A - Accountable, S - Support, C - Consulted and I - Informed.
 
RACI matrices are especially useful in clarifying roles and responsibilities in cross-functional processes.

YaSM is definitely lighter than ITIL®. But we don't want YaSM service management to be confused with what is often called "ITIL lite" or "lean ITIL" because we think the existing approaches are often flawed!
