IT service management (ITSM or IT services) is a discipline for managing information technology (IT) systems, philosophically centered on the customer\'s perspective of IT\'s contribution to the business. ITSM stands in deliberate contrast to technology-centered approaches to IT management and business interaction. The following represents a characteristic statement from the ITSM literature:
Providers of IT services can no longer afford to focus on technology and their internal organization[;] they now have to consider the quality of the services they provide and focus on the relationship with customers.ITSM is process-focused and in this sense has ties and common interests with process improvement movement (e.g., TQM, Six Sigma, business process management, CMMI) frameworks and methodologies. The discipline is not concerned with the details of how to use a particular vendor\'s product, or necessarily with the technical details of the systems under management. Instead, it focuses upon providing a framework to structure IT-related activities and the interactions of IT technical personnel with business customers and users.

Measuring The Service Provided By Project Management - WhitepaperColin Ellis
In 2015, the highly respected Standish Group stated that whilst some projects met time and cost constraints many customers were unhappy about the service they received. We think that has to change and have developed a tool to help you.
Abstract: Digital technologies have made customers powerful, giving them the option to choose and the means to instantaneously spread their opinions widely. They have become demanding, and they change brands without a blink if their experience with the product or service isn’t what they expect. Brand loyalty, therefore, has taken a backseat and customer experience has emerged supreme. In an IBM survey, 95% of CEOs said enhancing customer experience was top priority for them. Security forms a core foundation for enhancing customer experience!
Typically security has been inward looking focusing more on technology vulnerabilities and less on securing business objectives. Securing the digital enterprise entails looking outside-in, to protect customer experience its strategic objective. Also, internally the digital enterprise needs assurance against vulnerabilities introduced by
digital technologies like cloud, IoT etc.

New Challenges in Cloud Adoption - The Users!Khazret Sapenov
The document discusses challenges with user adoption of cloud technologies. Traditional change management approaches are not effective for cloud because they focus on training users on the technology rather than business goals and performance. This leads to one-time training rather than ongoing support. Effective cloud adoption requires new user adoption approaches that address both technology and behavior changes, and keep pace with constant updates. It also requires building user adoption programs with ongoing activities and resources rather than one-time training.

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

AbstractProject managers leading IT projects will benefit from a basic knowledge of IT service management concepts. The IT Infrastructure Library describes best practices for the ongoing operations of IT systems. This presentation Compares the IT service lifecycle with the project lifecycleExamines service management processes associated with the implementation of a new serviceProvides an overview of service management processes used for the ongoing management of the implemented serviceThis information assists the project manager to identify and plan for deliverables needed by the IT operations organization that will be managing the result of the IT project.
Beyond “on time, in scope, within budget,” part of our goal as project managers is to ensure that product or deliverable meets the needs and requirements of the customerWhen working on IT projects, the deliverable is a new or changed system What does that system do?It provides a service that helps an organization achieve its goals
Framework for IT operationsDeliverables for ongoing managementRunning the project
Definition “… “examples
As a project manager, the better you can prepare the operational environment for the technology deliverable, the greater success of the product you created.Relate experience of getting a new system to support to being handed the puzzle ball
Compare and contrastTemporary nature of project vs ongoing nature of a service
At what point are you done with an IT project?Sometime after the launch?
Internal … software/system developed ‘in house’ and internal organization will manage it once development is donePurchaser … you were contracted to design/develop/implement the software/system, it’s up to the org that bought it to figure out how to manage it into the futureOff-the-shelf … support models for commodity systems very different from custom built systems
Procedures level of detail varies
Launch date is set in stoneDelays happen in - software development- QADon’t forget about the operations implementation activities that need to be built into the schedule and managed accordingly.Go back to “When are you done with a project?” “When is IT operations done with a system/service?”
The operational considerations for a system delivered on different platforms are significant. The operations team should be informed of and involved with assessing the impact of such changes.
Communications around a launch may be high priority and highly visible. Work with the Service Desk part of the organization to coordinate and deliver the communications. Ensure that the support organizations are aware of and prepared to support and manage the system before the launch.
