Understanding Agile Service Management and learning to apply it practically

Main Topics

Agile Service Management combines the application and integration of agile principles and procedures with service management processes and process design. It counteracts the rigidity that can creep or has crept in through the bureaucratic approach of the ITIL framework and improves IT efficiency and effectiveness by enabling team members to respond with agility to changing business requirements across the framework. The IT/business discussion is now based on value rather than just cost.

This Agile Service Management practical workshop shows with concrete case studies how agile methods can be applied in Service Management. The workshop provides an understanding of how agility, value chains and value streams are related to practices, processes and services. An IT operating model based on Value Chains will be developed and Value Stream Mapping will be performed using practical examples.

This workshop is conducted by two experienced coaches.
