Course Details
Course Code: FitSMF; Duration: 2 Days; Instructor-led
IT Service Management is a deFacto standard being used in most organisations to organize IT and to streamline Information Technology activities into customer facing services.
Originally, the IT Infrastructure Library provided the core guidance by means of a Best Practice for organisations to fulfill this purpose. However, with very few exceptions, only a few processes are adopted and these are mainly in customer interfacing IT support.
FitSM® is a free and lightweight standards family aimed at facilitating service management in IT service provision. It is designed for professionals who wish to be quickly recognized for having the competences needed to implement effective ITSM processes – without delving into the intense detail of other frameworks.
While Best Practices lack some elements for standardisation, FitSM has been designed to implement auditable standards in these core processes, thus focusing on the essentials in IT Service Management.
