Mon, 26 September 2011
We've added a new page to the ITIL Wiki, explaining the main changes and differences between ITIL 2007 and ITIL 2011.
We'll insert more content as we adjust the ITIL Process Map to the latest ITIL 2011 edition.
New ITIL Checklist "Incident Prioritization Guideline"
Fri, 23 September 2011
You spoke, we listened: a new and detailed ITIL checklist on Incident classification is now available in our Wiki.
The Checklist "Incident Prioritization Guideline" contains the rules for Incident categorization depending on their impact and urgency. The right classification is essential for triggering appropriate Incident escalations. The template also defines the term Major Incident and how Major Incidents should be treated.
ITIL Roles updated
Tue, 20 September 2011
We've updated the definitions of the ITIL roles, which describe the roles' main characteristics. Roles are used in ITIL to assign responsibilities in the various ITIL processes.
ITIL Implementation in 10 Steps - Project Course
Fri, 16 September 2011
We've just updated the section on ITIL implementation.
Our guide "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.
ITIL Metrics (KPIs)
Wed, 14 September 2011
ITIL Key Performance Indicators (ITIL KPIs) are used to assess if the processes of your IT organization are running according to expectations. Our IT Process Wiki contains a collection of such KPIs which you can use as a starting point when designing process metrics for your organization.
Checklist "Service Improvement Plan (SIP)"
Sat, 10 September 2011
Our template Service Improvement Plan (SIP) has been enhanced with the updated section "Implementation schedule". The Service Improvement Plan is a formal plan to implement improvements to services and IT processes.
Updates to "ITIL Process Evaluation"
Sat, 10 September 2011
We have updated ITIL Process Evaluation and changed the descriptions of the ITIL roles that are involved in the process: The Process Owner and the Process Architect.
New: The data objects "Process Assessment Guideline" and "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.
"ITIL Service Evaluation": The Service Review Report
Sat, 10 September 2011
ITIL Service Evaluation aims to evaluate service quality. Service Reviews are carried out to review business services and infrastructure services on a regular basis.
The results and findings are documented within the "Service Review Report". Our checklist summarizes the most important report items.
Adjustments to "ITIL Problem Management" and the "Problem Record" Template
Thu, 08 September 2011
The ITIL Problem Management process has been updated.
We've also refreshed our checklist "Problem Record". This checklist contains a detailed structure of the data which should be contained in a Problem Record in order to describe its complete life cycle from Problem identification to solution. Among the additions are references to Known Errors and Workarounds and a section on the solution history.
Enhancements to "ITIL Incident Management"
Tue, 06 September 2011
We have revised the Incident Management process and added two data objects: The Incident Prioritization Guideline helps with assigning the correct priority to incidents - this is essential for triggering appropriate escalations. The Major Incident Review documents the Major Incident's underlying causes.
Our checklist Incident Record has been enhanced with updated sections "Incident Prioritization" and "Incident Closure Data".
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"
"ITIL Configuration Management" updated
Mon, 05 September 2011
We have extended ITIL Service Asset & Configuration Management and added two sub-processes: Configuration Identification and Configuration Control.
The related ITIL checklist "CMS CMDB" has been enhanced. This template covers details on the Configuration Management System (CMS), a coherent logical model of the IT organization’s service assets.
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".
"ITIL Change Management" updated
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"
Sat, 03 September 2011

Recent Changes to "Service Level Management"
Tue, 30 August 2011
We've updated the description of "Maintenance of the SLM Framework". The term "SLA/ OLA/ UC Catalogue and Structure" has been replaced with Contract Portfolio.
To avoid confusion with the Enterprise Architect role, we've changed the names and descriptions of some roles: the "Applications Analyst/ Architect" has thus become the Applications Analyst, and "Technical Analyst/ Architect" Technical Analyst.

Recent changes to "Information Security Management"
Fri, 26 August 2011
The term "Information Security Management" is now used consistently, in line with ITIL V3.

A new data object was created: The Underpinning Information Security Policy (underpinning policies support the overal Information Security Policy, covering special topics like the usage of e-mails. The changes also concern the process owner of Information Security Management: The Information Security Manager.
Recent changes to "Architecture Management"
Fri, 26 August 2011
