Overview

The Service Portfolio represents a complete list of the services managed by the service provider.

Some of these services are visible to the customers (Business Services, whose level of service is defined by SLAs), while others are not (Infrastructure Services, whose level of service is defined by OLAs or UCs).

The Service Portfolio contains present contractual commitments, new service development, and retired services. It also includes third-party Infrastructure Services which are an integral part of the service offerings to customers.

The Service Portfolio is divided into three sections: Service Pipeline, Active Services (Service Catalogue), and Retired Services. Services should be clustered according to Lines of Service based on common business activities they support. Only active services are visible to customers.

Rather than maintaining one single document, it is advisable to create a hierarchical structure of linked documents, or to use a dedicated database or application in order to manage the Service Portfolio. Ideally, the Service Portfolio is part of the CMS.
