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

  • The Service Level Report gives insight into a service provider's ability to deliver the agreed service quality.
  • To this purpose, it compares the agreed and actually achieved service levels, and also includes information on the usage of services, ongoing measures for service improvement, and any exceptional events.
  • 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.
