21. Terminology Explanations
IT Service
Management (ITSM):
A set of specialized organizational capabilities for providing value
to
customers in the form of services.
Service A service is a means of delivering value to customers by facilitating
outcomes customers want to achieve without the ownership of
specific costs and risks.
Capabilities: The ability of an organization, person, process, application, CI or IT
service to carry out an activity. Capabilities can be described as:
Value Value is the core of the service concept. From the customer’s
perspective , value consists of two core components: utility and
warranty. Utility is what the customer receives, and warranty is how
it is provided. The concepts “utility” and“warranty” are described
in the Section “Service Strategy”.
Process: A set of coordinated activities combining and implementing
resources and capabilities in order to produce an outcome and
provide value to customers or stakeholders.
TERMINOLOGIES

22. Terminology Explanations
Functions: A team or group of people and the tools they use to carry out one or

desired purpose and is accountable for the outputs of that process.
Service Owner: The person who is accountable for the delivery of a specific IT
Service. They are responsible for continual improvement and
management of change affecting Services under their care.

report to the Process Owner.
Service Providers: Type 1 : Internal (by business) unit – Type 2: Shared by IT
department) - Type 3 : External (by out-source)
TERMINOLOGIES

23. ITIL Core Concepts
• Utility (Definition)
“is the functionality offered by a product or
service to meet a particular need”.
• Utility can be summarized as ‘what the
service does’, and can be used to determine
whether a service is able to meet its required
outcomes, or is ‘fit for purpose’.

24. ITIL Core Concepts
• Warranty (Definition)
is an assurance that a product or service will
meet its agreed requirements. It refers to the ability
of a service to be available when needed, to provide
the required capacity, and to provide the required
reliability in terms of continuity and security.
• Warranty can be summarized as ‘how the
service is delivered’, and can be used to
determine whether a service is ‘fit for use’.

26. R – Responsibility (actually does the work for that activity but reports to the function or position that
has an “A” against it).
A – Accountability (is made accountable for ensuring that the action takes place, even if they might
not do it themselves). This role implies ownership.
C – Consult (advice/ guidance / information can be gained from this function or position prior to the
action taking place).
I – Inform (the function or position that is told about the event after it has happened).
A RACI Model is used to define the roles and responsibilities of various functions.
RACI Model

27. General Rules that exist:
• Only 1 “A” per Row can be defined (ensures accountability, more than one “A” would confuse
this).
• At least 1 “R” per Row must be (shows that actions are taking place), with more than one being
appropriate where there is shared responsibility.

28. Benefits of ITSM
While the benefits of applying IT Service Management practices vary
depending on
the organization’s needs, some common benefits include:
• Improved quality service provision
• Cost-justifiable service quality
• Design of services that meet business, customer, and user demands
• Integrated and centralized processes
• Transparency of the roles and responsibilities for service provision
• Continual improvement, incorporating lessons learned into
future endeavors
• Measurable quality, performance, and efficiency attributes

• Business unit managers
• Customers
• End users
• IT staff
