Video | Don't leave customer support to luck
Service providers need a consistent, professional approach to managing incidents and service requests, because bad customer support drives away customers!
So, it's not surprising that there is a strong emphasis on support processes in all service management frameworks and standards.
Indeed, incident management is probably the best-know process in these frameworks, but quite a few more processes play their part in getting customer support right.

Fri, 28 October 2016

When presenting the YaSM service management framework to someone who has never heard of it before, I get frequently asked whether YaSM is a lean or light version of ITIL®.

YaSM is definitely lighter than ITIL®. But we don't want YaSM to be confused with what is often called "ITIL lite" or "lean ITIL" because we think the existing approaches are often flawed!
