ISO/IEC 20000 IT Service Management Workshop

Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Canberra.

AusIndustry funding may be available to offset some of the external consultancy costs. 

 For information and pricing of in-house workshops, please contact Montrose.

ISO notes that "Today, IT service providers are under sustained pressure to deliver high quality service at minimum cost. Concerns have been raised that IT services, whether provided by an in-house IT department or an external organization, are not aligned with the needs of the business and its customers. ISO/IEC 20000 will reduce operational exposure to risk, meet contractual and tendering requirements, demonstrate service quality and deliver best value."

Workshop Format

This one-day workshop is highly interactive, combining presentations and exercises. Participants will learn about the first international standard for IT Service Management, ISO/IEC 20000:2005. This new standard replaces BS 15000, which was based on the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL). The new standard integrates the process-based approach of ISO's management system standards - ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 14001:2004.

ISO/IEC 20000:2005 Part 1: Specification provides requirements for IT service management . Part 2: Code of practice represents an industry consensus on guidance and assistance to service providers planning service improvements or to be audited against the standard. The Workshop covers Parts 1 and 2, providing a practical, step-by-step approach to implementing a compliant IT service management system. Working in groups, participants will gain hands-on experience in creating specific IT service management deliverables.

Comprehensive student workbooks contain the presentation materials, supplementary notes and references to web-based resources including templates, sample documents, checklists and tools
