Overview
This four-day course focuses on how organizations can use ITIL® best practices to identify and define services quickly and accurately. Service identification and definition is one of the perennial issues that organizations face when adopting service management best practices. Many organizations spend too much time, too much money, and achieve unpredictable results during service identification and definition activities. This course demonstrates, through hands-on practice, how to use the guidance in the ITIL Service Strategy book, to effectively and efficiently identify, define and understand an organization’s services. Organizations will learn how to better define their services and individuals will learn the skills needed to conduct one of the most critical activities that is a part of adopting service management best practices.
