A look at ITIL Change Management with Agile and DevOps.

ITIL®4 represents a significant mindset and behavior shift for IT Service management. One of its core concepts is the Value chain – by definition requiring end to end collaboration. But traditionally we have been operating in department and framework SILO’s - COBIT, BRM, Agile, DevOps and now ITIL4. Not only that, but Agile and DevOps stakeholders see ITIL as out of date within an increasingly agile world.

Taking the step from where we are to where we need to be with ITIL is not a one off ‘Implementation’. It is a journey of iterative improvement. Yet at the Same time the world around us is continually changing requiring us to be agile and able to change at pace. The business is throwing ever more demands and opportunities our way. Products and features need to be deployed – Now! Critical systems need to remain stable, reliable and available. But what about change and improvement work!...

Welcome to the world of digital transformation and digital disruption. Many organizations are now adopting ITIL4 as part of their ITSM journey, but are struggling to translate theory into practice and create the necessary buy-in and commitment from end-to-end stakeholders.

MarsLander is a business simulation that can be used to bring the end-to-end stakeholders to experience and explore solutions to these challenges.

IT measurements are meaningless if they don’t provide information to make accurate and timely decisions. Yet many IT organizations produce reams of operational reports that provide tons of information yet still leave everyone blind as to what actions to take or whether IT benefits are truly being realized. This session provides a solid practical approach for closing the loop between what kinds of metrics should be reported on and how IT can leverage results and a program of continual service improvement for effective decision making.  As a result of this session, attendees will learn about what kinds of metrics matter most and how these fit into an overall model for making key decisions. In addition, attendees will get access to a simple EXCEL-based metrics model that they can use right away within their own IT organization.
