Your Service Desk: Flagship or Failure?

Understanding why a continous delivery model will work for you and transitioning to it are two very different things. From working out which technology needs to be seamlessly integrated, and how to automate the application lifecycle, adopting a DevOps mindset and implementing its delivery can be confusing, stressful and overwhelming.

Join this webinar, live and on demand, to hear DevOps experts discuss how to build a DevOps strategy that makes technical and business sense without the noise and chaos.

Traditional ITSM practices such as ITIL are being challenged by DevOps teams. Does a DevOps team still need an ITSM system? Can we not just use one single backlog to manage all our work including incidents and requests? Do we still need a CAB for change approvals? Is the traditional CMDB suitable for the dynamic cloud environment? Learn all about how ITSM needs be transformed to leverage the DevOps way of working.

How does ITIL 4 contribute to the digital enterprise?
What is a digital enterprise, for that matter, and which digital capabilities are required?
How does the digital operating model contribute to transforming the enterprise?
What’s the importance of planned and emergent continual improvement in keeping up with dynamic digital demand?
How is the role of management changing?
Which resources and practices do ITSM practitioners have at their disposal to co-create value from digital investments?

This talk will explore these questions and more.
