Do we really need all the V3 Processes?

Author : Moses Kamau

Date : 29/05/2009

I must confess that I am still hung-up on V2 Service Support. I barely utilized or implemented the Service Delivery processes (save for SLM). I believe as an organization, we did very well. We were organized and quite mature in our approach to IT Service Management.

What value then is there in implementing, say, Demand, or Knowledge or Access or Service Validation & Testing, etc, when your support processes are still not mature enough? Our Technical people are still struggling to "follow" the basic support processes. As service managers, we are still trying to get the processes to work, trying to make them more practical and beneficial. How then do I go about introducing all these new processes?

I see the point in the service Lifecycle; but why not just map the v2 processes into the lifecycle? Does v2 still have a place?
 
Thank You

Moses, you make a point that at first glance many people would agree with. However, the reality is that you were already doing all the SD processes, at a low level of maturity - but just didn't realize it !!!

Did anyone ever monitor network bandwidth, or how full the server hard drives were... that is Resource Capacity Management. Did anyone ever put in a RAID array system on a critical server? - that is planning for availability under the Availability Management process.

So you can see you were already doing all the processes, but when you formally implement them - you simply do it better.

Now extend that into the world of ITIL v3 and the same principles apply. All the processes, concepts and activities are already there - just all in differing levels of maturity - most may not be easily identifable, but there will be some small trace that an ITIL professional coud see.
