Objective: ITIL Demand Management aims to understand, anticipate and influence customer demand for services. Demand Management works with Capacity Management to ensure that the service provider has sufficient capacity to meet the required demand.

Part of: Service Strategy

Process Owner: Demand Manager

 

Process Description

The chapter on Demand Management in the Service Strategy book (ITIL V3 2007 Edition) did not offer enough substance to justify a separate Demand Management process, so at IT Process Maps we decided to treat Demand Management as part of Capacity Management.

Demand Management ITIL
ITIL Demand Management

Since the latest ITIL 2011 guidance includes clarifications on the differences in scope between Demand Management and Capacity Management, a dedicated Demand Management process has been introduced as part of Service Strategy. The process overview of ITIL Demand Management (.JPG) is showing the most important interfaces (see Figure 1).

The role Demand Manager has been introduced to perform the activities in the Demand Management process.

 

Sub-Processes

No sub-processes are specified for ITIL Demand Management.

 

Definitions

The following ITIL terms and acronyms (information objects) are used in ITIL Demand Management to represent process outputs and inputs:
