Overview

Quote from a Raving Fan:

“The Integrated Service Management Essentials was excellent. It helped me in understanding how I can incorporate ITIL, Agile, Lean, DevOps into my group. The materials, videos and classroom discussions really helped me to understand the material and made the class fun.”

COURSE OVERVIEW

No other course provider gives you an 'integrated' view of IT service management (ITSM) – a must have in today's turbulent business environment. This includes a unique 'Full Stack' view of DevOps, which is a necessity to successfully enable improved quality, higher speed, and a reduction in costs.

IT organizations are constantly challenged to improve the way services are delivered in respect to quality, speed, and cost. In response to these ongoing pressures, organizations have long turned to ITSM frameworks such as ITIL to improve the quality and value of their service delivery capabilities.

In addition to ITIL, recent trends and market pressures have introduced new models, methods, and concepts designed to further accelerate traditional IT management practices such as project management, software development, and service delivery. However, many organizations find that these practices are leveraged in isolation by different teams. This leads to competition for resources – creating conflict and distracting management's focus, rather than collaborating and gaining the benefit of integration.

The Integrated Service Management Essentials certification course adds to your knowledge of proven ITSM capabilities and demonstrates how the practices of Lean, Agile, and DevOps work together with ITIL processes to enable successful outcomes, remove waste, lower costs, and increase business value.

The course promotes the view that an 'integrated' approach to managing these practices is needed (and explains exactly how), and that it is not a matter of “which one do we choose?”
