* It is difficult to introduce all the ITIL Process Areas into a Service Management System in one project or program, especially in their mature form. As a result, those organization that have done this, focus on a subset of the ITIL Process Areas to create an initial Service Management System, often using BS ISO/IEC 20000-1:2005 as the standard followed to do this. The initial Service Management System is then subsequently enhanced and improved in later Service Management programs and projects. | *It is difficult to introduce all the ITIL Process Areas into a Service Management System in one project or program, especially in their mature form.

A Service Design Package is produced for each new IT Service, major Change, or IT Service Retirement”.

- A Service Level Report is issued by the service provider for its customers, IT management and other Service Management processes.
- A similar report is also created by an external service supplier to document its achieved service performance.
- → Checklist Service Level Report
- → ITIL processes, ITIL Service Design > Service Level Management
Service Level Requirements (SLR)
- The Service Level Requirements document contains the requirements for a service from the client viewpoint, defining detailed service level targets, mutual responsibilities, and other requirements specific to a certain (group of) customers.
- As the service enters new stages of its life cycle, the SLR document evolves into a draft Service Level Agreement.
- → Checklist Service Level Requirements (SLR)
- → ITIL processes, ITIL Service Design > Service Level Management
Service Management System
- The standard, BS ISO/IEC 20000-1:2005 introduced the concept of a "Service Management System". This is usually a complex "system" of manual and automated processes that are used to manage a Service over its lifetime; in particular, its planning, development, implementation, operation and improvement.
- ITIL provides a set of best practice guidelines for Service Management. It addresses those Process Areas that are required for a comprehensive Service Management System.
- It is difficult to introduce all the ITIL Process Areas into a Service Management System in one project or program, especially in their mature form. As a result, those organization that have done this, focus on a subset of the ITIL Process Areas to create an initial Service Management System, often using BS ISO/IEC 20000-1:2005 as the standard followed to do this. The initial Service Management System is then subsequently enhanced and improved in later Service Management programs and projects.
- What is important is that the initial Service Management System contains the minimum set of processes from ITIL that enable an organization to manage a Service across its whole lifecycle.
- The Service Management (System) Architecture is a vital component of this to ensure the quality and consistency of the Service Management System, especially as it develops over time. Furthermore, an holistic view of the ITIL architecture enables a Service Management or Business Architect to design an initial Service Management System that is consistent with the expected form of the future Service Management System.
Service Model
- A Service Model is a high-level description of a service and the components required to deliver that service.
- The main purpose of Service Models is to facilitate an understanding of what service components, assets and other resources are necessary to create the service, including their interactions.
- Service Models are a valuable tool for understanding the impact of proposed new or changed services on other services at an early stage.
