Presentation Overview

For IT personnel, it is easy to identify with the technology we support. Business people however want services or at least the capabilities that IT Services provide for them. In order to connect both views we need to map IT services to the business processes they support and to the underlying technology. IT is a business (or business unit) and understanding our service in business terms is critical to our success and that of the businesses we support.

This lunch hour workshop will provide hands on exposure to these concepts and show the techniques involved to:

Identify business processes
Identify, name and categorize IT services that support the business processes
Map the IT services to the underlying technology, applications and processes

During the workshop participants will learn to use a template to map out a service. The presenter will also describe the many uses of the service map and some of the pitfalls to avoid.
