The Power of Metrics for Optimal ITSM Performance

In everyday life, measurement is an essential component. How big? How far? How high? How heavy? What’s the time? What’s the cost? Quite simply, measurement is as old as time itself. So what is a good measurement and how can it impact performance when aiming to exceed targets?

Information Technology Service Management (ITSM) is focused on defining and managing processes to optimize performance. ITSM metrics provide a vast amount of data in the form of measurements. That data must be translated into information that can be used to monitor and manage the business. Learning how to leverage this information produces knowledge used to produce service improvements and sustained performance. In this course, we will take an in-depth look at the ITIL 2011 Edition metrics for incident, problem, change, and service desk management.

This workshop, presented by the renowned Malcolm Fry, is a fun, informative, and productive learning experience about metrics based on ITIL 2011. The workshop contains a series of breakout opportunities that allow for networking and collaborative learning. Course participants will receive and learn how to use a spreadsheet enabling them to report on metrics for the service desk.
