Course Description
There are many process frameworks that define best practices for achieving quality IT Service Management - ITIL®, ISO/IEC 20000, MOF, CobiT, CMMI, etc. While each describes a set of integrated processes and controls, none provide step-by-step methods and techniques for actually designing, re-engineering and/or improving those processes.
This five (5) day certification course does just that, by converting the theoretical into the practical. The course couples prescriptive advice with hands-on opportunities to analyze, design, measure and integrate service management processes. The knowledge obtained in this course applies to every Service Management framework, standard and maturity model.
