Course Description

An Implementation Workshop for Making ITIL Work™

Most organizations have some type of help desk or service desk and have invested in tools and training to improve the performance of their teams. Yet, for many organizations, there is a stubborn lack of progress. High turnover, process/tool alignment, and governance issues prevent you from getting the results you intended.

This workshop will help you and your teams overcome these challenges and get your Incident Management process and Service Desk back on track. This program is an in-depth, practical workshop to help you:

  • Assess your current capabilities
  • Identify gaps in your processes, tools, and governance
  • Set specific and achieveable goals for driving improvements to your process
  • Establish appropriate policies, procedures, and work instructions for your teams
  • Align your processes with your tooling configurations
  • Focus on key metrics to drive intended performance
  • Improve your knowledge management
  • Improve your time-to-resolve and first-time-fix rates
  • Improve quality and availability of services

Key areas of focus in the course include:

  • Defining process objectives
  • Establishing Policy and Governance
  • Process Workflow Improvements
    • Using Categorizations to drive improvements and investments
    • Using Priority to allocate resources
    • Building a Knowledge Base that drives increased first-call resolution
    • Managing Escalations and building working OLAs with support teams
  • Defining and aligning Roles and Responsibilities
  • Building alignment between Incident Management and other process and functional areas
  • Defining key metrics
  • Understanding how to leverage your service management tools more effectively to support your process implementation
