Revision as of 17:30, 22 December 2013
Objective: ITIL Knowledge Management aims to gather, analyze, store and share knowledge and information within an organization. The primary purpose of Knowledge Management is to improve efficiency by reducing the need to rediscover knowledge.
Part of: Service Transition
Process Owner: Knowledge Manager
Process Description
Knowledge Management was added as a new process in ITIL V3.
Many aspects of ITIL Knowledge Management were covered by various processes in the previous ITIL version - for example, Problem Management was (and in ITIL 2011 still is) responsible for managing the Known Error Database.
ITIL, however, defines Knowledge Management as the one central process responsible for providing knowledge to all other IT Service Management processes. The process overview of ITIL Knowledge Management (.JPG) is showing the most important interfaces (see Figure 1).
ITIL Knowledge Management is dealt with in many other Service Management processes. The Knowledge Management process itself ensures that all information used within Service Management, stored in the Service Knowledge Management System, is consistent and readily available.
Sub-Processes
No sub-processes are specified for ITIL Knowledge Management.
Definitions
The following ITIL terms and acronyms (information objects) are used in Knowledge Management to represent process outputs and inputs:
Service Knowledge Management System (SKMS)
- The Service Knowledge Management System (SKMS) is the central repository of the data, information and knowledge that the IT organization needs to manage the lifecycle of its services. Its purpose is to store, analyze and present the service provider's data, information and knowledge. The SKMS is not necessarily a single system – in most cases it will be a federated system based on a variety of data sources.
Roles | Responsibilities
Knowledge Manager - Process Owner
- The Knowledge Manager ensures that the IT organization is able to gather, analyze, store and share knowledge and information. His primary goal is to improve efficiency by reducing the need to rediscover knowledge.
