Objective: ITIL Service Catalogue Management aims to ensure that a Service Catalogue is produced and maintained, containing accurate information on all operational services and those being prepared to be run operationally. This process provides vital information for all other ITIL service management processes: service details, current status and the services' interdependencies.
Part of: Service Design
Process Owner: Service Catalogue Manager
Process Description
Service Catalogue Management was added as a new process in ITIL V3.
In the previous ITIL version, the Service Level Management process mentioned the concept of a Service Catalogue.
ITIL V3 takes this concept further, introducing a dedicated process to ensure that the Service Catalogue is up-to-date and contains reliable information.
A clear distinction exists between Business Services in the Service Catalogue (services visible to the customer, defined by SLAs) and Supporting Services (services visible only inside the IT organization, defined by OLAs or UCs).
In ITIL 2011 the process interfaces have been adapted slightly following the introduction of the Design Coordination process. The process overview of Service Catalogue Management (.JPG) shows the key information flows (see fig. 1).
ITIL 4 refers to 'Service Catalogue Management' as a service management practice.
Sub-Processes
No sub-processes are specified for Service Catalogue Management.
Definitions
The following ITIL terms and acronyms (information objects) are used in Service Catalogue Management to represent process outputs and inputs:
Required Modifications to Service Catalogue
- A request from a Service Management process to change the Service Catalogue. This request is sent to Service Catalogue Management if new services or service attributes must be recorded.
Service Catalogue
- A database or structured document with information about all live services, including those available for deployment. The Service Catalogue is the only part of the Service Portfolio published to Customers, and is used to support the sale and delivery of IT Services.
