Our guide "[[ITIL Implementation#ITIL Implementation in 10 Steps - Project Course|Implementing ITIL in 10 Steps]]" is a time-tested project blueprint designed to support the planning of your ITIL initiative and the subsequent ITIL implementation. | |||
The ITIL project guide is also ideally suited for organizations preparing themselves for ISO 20000 certification, since ISO 20000 and ITIL share the same basic principles. | |||
<p> </p> | |||
==== ITIL Metrics (KPIs) ==== | |||
[[Image:ITIL-KPIs.jpg|thumb|70px|right|none|alt=ITIL Key Performance Indicators|[[ITIL Key Performance Indicators|ITIL Metrics (KPIs)]]]] | |||

New: The data objects "[[Process Evaluation#Process Assessment Guideline|Process Assessment Guideline]]" and "[[Process Evaluation#Seven-Step Improvement Guideline|Seven-Step Improvement Guideline]]". The "7-Step Improvement Method" is a methodology which can be universally applied to identify shortcomings in services and processes and to implement improvements. | |||
<p> </p> | |||
==== "ITIL Service Evaluation": The Service Review Report ==== | |||
[[Image:Itil-service-evaluation.jpg|thumb|70px|right|none|alt=ITIL Service Management|[[Service Evaluation|ITIL Service Evaluation]]]] | |||
<small>Sat, 10 September 2011</small> | |||

==== Enhancements to "ITIL Incident Management" ==== | |||
[[Image:Itil-incident-management.jpg|thumb|70px|right|none|alt=ITIL Incident Management|[[Incident Management|ITIL Incident Management]]]] | |||
<small>Tue, 06 September 2011</small> | |||
We have revised the [[Incident Management|Incident Management process]] and added two data objects: The [[Incident Management#Incident Prioritization Guideline|Incident Prioritization Guideline]] helps with assigning the correct priority to incidents - this is essential for triggering appropriate escalations. The [[Incident Management#Major Incident Review|Major Incident Review]] documents the Major Incident's underlying causes. | |||
Our checklist [[Checklist Incident Record|Incident Record]] has been enhanced with updated sections "Incident Prioritization" and "Incident Closure Data". | |||

[[Knowledge Management]] is the central process responsible for providing knowledge to all other IT Service Management processes. In this respect, the [[Knowledge Management#SKMS|Service Knowledge Management System (SKMS)]] serves as the central repository of data, information and knowledge managed by the Knowledge Management process. | |||
Here is the updated definition: → [[Knowledge Management#SKMS|"SKMS"]] | |||
<p> </p> | |||
==== "ITIL Configuration Management" updated ==== | |||
[[Image:Service-asset-and-configuration-management.jpg|thumb|70px|right|none|alt=ITIL Configuration Management|[[Service Asset and Configuration Management|ITIL Configuration Management]]]] | |||
<small>Mon, 05 September 2011</small> | |||

<small>Sun, 04 September 2011</small> | |||
We renamed and modified the data object "Project Plan" to "[[Project Management - Transition Planning and Support#Service Transition Plan|Project Plan (Service Transition Plan)]]" to bring it into line with the ITIL books. To avoid confusion with the "Service Transition Report" (vaguely) known in ITIL we renamed the data object "Service Transition Report" to "[[Project Management - Transition Planning and Support#Project Portfolio Status Report|Project Portfolio Status Report]]". | |||
<p> </p> | |||

[[Image:Itil-change-management.jpg|thumb|70px|right|none|alt=ITIL Change Management|[[Change Management|Change Management]]]] | |||
<small>Sun, 04 September 2011</small> | |||
We switched to the term "Emergency Change" as this is the exact term used in the ITIL books. We've updated the name of the [[Change Management#Sub-Processes|Change Management sub-process]] accordingly: "Assessment of Emergency RFC by the ECAB".

[[Image:Itil-supplier-management.jpg|thumb|70px|right|none|alt=ITIL Supplier Management|[[Supplier Management|Supplier Management]]]] | |||
<small>Sat, 03 September 2011</small> | |||
We created a new data object [[Supplier Management#Supplier Service Level Report|Supplier Service Level Report]] to make clear that it is different from the [[Service Level Management#Service Level Report|Service Level Report]] created by Service Level Management. The Supplier Service Level Report gives insight into a service provider's external supplier's ability to deliver the agreed service quality. | |||

The "Service Knowledge Management System"
Mon, 05 September 2011
Knowledge Management is the central process responsible for providing knowledge to all other IT Service Management processes. In this respect, the Service Knowledge Management System (SKMS) serves as the central repository of data, information and knowledge managed by the Knowledge Management process.
Here is the updated definition: → "SKMS"

Modified Data Objects in "ITIL Project Management"
Sun, 04 September 2011
We renamed and modified the data object "Project Plan" to "Project Plan (Service Transition Plan)" to bring it into line with the ITIL books. To avoid confusion with the "Service Transition Report" (vaguely) known in ITIL we renamed the data object "Service Transition Report" to "Project Portfolio Status Report".

Sun, 04 September 2011
We switched to the term "Emergency Change" as this is the exact term used in the ITIL books. We've updated the name of the Change Management sub-process accordingly: "Assessment of Emergency RFC by the ECAB". The term has also been replaced within our Checklist RFC.
The "Supplier Service Level Report"

"ITIL Financial Management" updated
Mon, 29 August 2011
We continue to bring our ITIL Wiki in line with the version of the ITIL Process Map that has just received the ITIL® Licensed Product logo by APMG.
