ITIL V3, Enterprise Architecture and Project Portfolio Management, where do I start?http://sergethorn.blogspot.com/2007/12/itil-v3-enterprise-architecture-and.html Serge Thorn: Recently I have attended the ITIL V2 to V3 bridge course and took the examination. It is clear that one day is not enough and a day and a half would have been convenient. IIL V3 is supposed to be an evolution and not a revolution… Pretty sure that a day and a half would have frightened some IT decision makers… and the decision was from trainers to only offer that single day.- Enterprise Architecture - ITIL - |

Many organizations find it very difficult to use metrics properly, and badly designed metrics can be actively harmful to proper business functioning. This book addresses the causes of the difficulties and presents workable solutions. It provides a general guide to the design, implementation and use of metrics as a mechanism to control and steer IT service organizations, and specific recommendations for applying metrics across ITIL, ISO20000 (BS15000) and other processes, discussing the rationale of the recommendations.

A helping hand with IT governanceThere’s no need for wrong turns on the road to achieving effective IT governance. Frameworks can offer a clear path to better risk management and value. Within many organisations IT governance is up there with military intelligence and rap music as one of the great oxymorons of our time.- IT Governance - ITIL - |

ITIL’s dead elephant: CMDB can't be donehttp://www.itskeptic.org/node/25 CMDB can’t be done. Not as ITIL defines it. At least not with a justifiable return on the investment of doing it - it is such an enormous undertaking that any organisation attempting it is going to burn money on an irresponsible scale. The truth about CMDB is no secret. It is a “dead elephant”: a great putrescence in the corner of the room that everyone studiously ignores, stepping around it and ignoring the stench, because life will be so much simpler if they do not acknowledge the obvious.- IT Governance - ITIL - |

Living without ITIL's CMDBhttp://www.itskeptic.org/node/33 so many of us in process methodologies and operations delivery tend to be anal obsessives. Lighten up and stop trying to find one repository to rule them all. Let our data be untidy. Let go of that old “everything has to be complete and correct” mindset. Live without CMDB.- IT Governance - ITIL - |

Malcolm Fry | Enterprise architecture, European stylehttp://www.gcn.com/print/25_22/41464-1.html?topic=&CMP=OTC-RSS While U.S. federal agencies scurry to get their enterprise architectures in line, their British counterparts have been deploying another framework altogether for managing IT—the IT Infrastructure Library. ITIL is a set of best-practice recommendations and common IT definitions covering incident, problem, configuration, change management and other IT functions. ITIL may be catching on stateside as well. Earlier this month, IT professionals packed the rooms of a modest ITIL conference in Washington. One of the best-attended talks was by Malcolm Fry, a Colchester, England-based consultant, and an adviser for BMC Software Inc. of Houston, who is considered the creator of ITIL. GCN caught up with Fry afterward.- Enterprise Architecture - ITIL - |

The Emperor has no clothes. Where is the evidence for ITIL?http://www.itilskeptic.org/node/21 There isn’t any. Not the kind of hard empirical evidence that would stand up in, say, clinical trials. There is more evidence for quack alternative medicines than there is for ITIL. The facts are that few organisations even bother to examine the business case before embarking on ITIL; even fewer measure results; and the few that do are building their business case in the absence of any solid research to justify their estimates. The Emperor has no clothes.- IT Governance - Management - ITIL - |

Will ITIL make SOA governable?http://blogs.zdnet.com/service-oriented/?p=575 Joe McKendrick, ZDNet. The UK gave us the Beatles, Monty Python, Stephen Hawking, and now, ITIL. There's more interest brewing on this side of the Atlantic pond these days in the IT Infrastructure Library. Consultants are springing up all over the place, and lately, IBM Tivoli and other enterprise vendors have been talking up ITIL, baking methodologies into their service and infrastructure offerings.- Service-Oriented Architecture - ITIL - |
