Note: The CSI Register (ITIL 2011) was referred to as the Service Improvement Plan - SIP (ITIL V3 2007).

 

The CSI Register is used to record and manage improvement opportunities throughout their lifecycle. The addition of new entries to the CSI Register is typically triggered by Continual Service Improvement.

Generally speaking, improvement initiatives are either

• Internal initiatives pursued by the service provider on his own behalf, for example to improve processes or make better use of resources
• Initiatives which require the customer’s cooperation, for example if some of the agreed service levels are found to be no longer adequate
