Many aspects of Knowledge Management - added as a new process in ITIL V3 - were covered by several other processes in the previous ITIL version. For example, [[Problem Management]] was (and in ITIL 2011 still is) responsible for managing the [[Problem Management#Known Error|Known Error]] Database.

Objective: ITIL Knowledge Management aims to gather, analyze, store and share knowledge and information within an organization. The primary purpose of this ITIL process is to improve efficiency by reducing the need to rediscover knowledge.

Part of: Service Transition

Process Owner: Knowledge Manager

 

Process Description

Knowledge Management ITIL
ITIL Knowledge Management (.pdf)

ITIL defines Knowledge Management as the one central process responsible for providing knowledge to all other IT Service Management processes. The process overview of ITIL Knowledge Management (.JPG) shows the key information flows (see fig. 1).

Many aspects of Knowledge Management - added as a new process in ITIL V3 - were covered by several other processes in the previous ITIL version. For example, Problem Management was (and still is) responsible for managing the Known Error Database.

Knowledge Management is dealt with in many other Service Management processes. The process itself ensures that all information used in IT Service Management, stored in the Service Knowledge Management System, is consistent and readily available.

ITIL 4 refers to 'Knowledge Management' as a general management practice.

 

Sub-Processes

No sub-processes are specified for ITIL Knowledge Management.

Definitions

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

Service Knowledge Management System (SKMS)

  • The Service Knowledge Management System (SKMS) is the central repository of the data, information and knowledge that the IT organization needs to manage the lifecycle of its services. Its purpose is to store, analyze and present the service provider's data, information and knowledge. The SKMS is not necessarily a single system – in most cases it will be a federated system based on a variety of data sources.

Roles | Responsibilities

Knowledge Manager - Process Owner

  • The Knowledge Manager ensures that the IT organization is able to gather, analyze, store and share knowledge and information. His primary goal is to improve efficiency by reducing the need to rediscover knowledge.
