It can also be used as a benchmarking mechanism and a boost in creating continual improvement culture for your ITSM / ITIL processes. The assessment is based on Process maturity framework (PMF), (as recommended in ITIL Service Design book). Maturity rating levels are: Level 1: Initial Level 2: Repeatable Level 3: Defined (Level 3 +: Deployed ) Level 4: Managed Level 5: Optimizing The use of the PMF in the assessment of service management processes relies on an appreciation of the IT organization growth model. At the process level, assessment covered following groups of questions regarding process attributes to establish process maturity: 1. Process performance (outcomes achieved) 2. Performance Management ( activities performed) 3. Work product management ( inputs/outputs) 4. Process Definition ( roles documentation) 5. Process deployment( accepted, performed) 6. Process Measurement 7. Process control 8. Process innovation 9. Process optimisation

Documentation Framework for IT Service DeliverySimon Denton

I developed this for a project that I am currently involved in. The project aim is to develop a documentation framework for the provision of IT as a Service. I devised the framework using the Microsoft Operations Framework as ‘glue’ between other frameworks like ITIL. I thought I’d share it as it might be useful to others who are in a similar situation. The end result is a relatively compact set of documents for each service offered by IT.

Product quality managementSunil Meena

Quality management ensures that an organization, product or service is consistent. Quality management is focused not only on product and service quality, but also on the means to achieve it. Quality management, therefore, uses quality assurance and control of processes as well as products to achieve more consistent quality. Project Quality Management includes the processes and activities of the performing organization that determines quality policies, objectives, and responsibilities so that the project will satisfy the needs for which it was undertaken Project Quality Management includes the processes and activities of the performing organization that determines quality policies, objectives, and responsibilities so that the project will satisfy the needs for which it was undertaken

What Does Agile Mean to the Modern PMOMike Otranto

Given that digital business require Agile PPM (bimodal IT), PMO leaders are challenged to adapt governance processes to cover new, agile Mode 2 efforts that are not from the same mold as “traditional” project management structures. The requirement of successfully delivering projects using multiple delivery approaches side-by-side is not just a possibility, it is a high probability. How has Agile PPM (bimodal IT) impacted the PMO? How are Agile PPM (bimodal IT) application projects different than traditional projects? How should project management methods, strategies and techniques change to support digital PMO in bimodal IT organizations?

Documentation techniques and technologiespotter324

This document discusses documentation techniques and technologies for auditors. It provides an overview of different documentation methods including narrative and diagrammatic approaches. Narrative documentation involves writing out business processes while diagrammatic uses visual diagrams. The document recommends that auditors develop strong business knowledge and learn various documentation methods to meet expectations and audit objectives. Neither narrative nor diagrammatic is superior, and sometimes combinations of techniques are best. Proper documentation helps auditors assess risks and make recommendations to management.

7QC Tools By: PremPrem Anand

This document provides an overview of seven quality control tools: cause and effect diagrams, flow charts, check sheets, histograms, Pareto charts, control charts, and scatter diagrams. It describes each tool's purpose, how to construct or use it, and its benefits. Cause and effect diagrams help identify possible causes for problems and organize them into categories. Flow charts visually map out processes to identify areas for improvement. Check sheets systematically collect and organize data. Histograms show the distribution of data values. [END SUMMARY]

Business Process Mapping.pptxUsamaPatel9

Business process mapping is a framework that creates visual representations of business processes through diagrams and flowcharts. These maps reveal the relationships between operational steps, inputs, and outputs to produce products or services. Process mapping is useful for documenting current processes, analyzing them for improvements, facilitating common understanding, and capturing institutional knowledge. There are different types of process maps that can be used at various levels, including SIPOC maps, deployment maps, swimlane maps, value stream maps, and BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) maps. The main advantages are process transparency, improvement identification, knowledge retention, and training support, while disadvantages include lack of clarity and inconsistent methodology.
