Configuration Management

Useful Grounding
Service Owner. A role which is accountable for the delivery of a specific IT Service.
Key Performance Indicator (KPI). A metric used to help manage a Process, IT Service or Activity. Many metrics may be managed but only the most important are defined as KPIs.
Configuration Management. The Process responsible for maintaining information about Configuration Items (CIs) required to deliver an IT Service.

Why Don’t We Do This Well Today?

• We don’t know what the customer wants• No one owns the outcome for the
customer• We don’t have metrics to deliver the
outcome the customer wants• We don’t understand or deliver services –
only technical outcomes• Even if we did all the above – we still can’t
even map a service end to end
10
Service Delivery Roles - Ownership
Provide the customer enough information to make a self-service determination…
• Name & description• Fit for my use• Who can request it• Cost• Quality• Delivery time• How to request it• Service Owner
If everyone owns the service, no one does

3 Steps to Make Service Ownership Work
• We are already doing it• Aligning with the customer is better for us too• We can run but we can’t hide
Awareness
“Service Owner” Concerns• This is a new way of doing things• I don’t “own” anything• I don’t control the resources• This could make us (me) look bad• This doesn’t align with my goals &
compensation
KPIs Best Practices
13
• Start at the top• Align as we go down• Start simply with metrics we can meet• Measure progress & alignment up and
down• Improve as a team in a low risk way
