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 Portfolio
The Service Portfolio represents a complete list of the services managed by a service provider; some of these services are visible to the customers, while others are not. It contains present contractual commitments, new service development, and ongoing service improvement plans initiated by Continual Service Improvement. It also includes third-party services which are an integral part of service offerings to customers. The Service Portfolio is divided into three phases: Service Pipeline, Service Catalogue, and Retired Services (see also: ITIL Checklist Service Portfolio).
Service Strategy
A systematic long-term plan of action, designed by the IT Service Organization to achieve defined objectives.
Strategic Plan
A plan for implementing the Service Strategy, containing specific objectives, activities and responsibilities.
