  7. Operational Framework • Product Management and Development can be defined by Key Process Areas • Support • Service Commitment Management • Service Delivery Planning • Service Request & Incident Management • Service Tracking & Oversight • Development • Requirements Management • Software Project Planning • Software Project Tracking & Oversight • Quality Assurance • Software Configuration Management

  8. Key Process Areas Examples • Service Commitment Management • The main purpose of Service Commitment Management is to ensure that the service commitments between service provider and customer, and hence the actual services delivered, are based on the IT service needs of the customer. • Service Request and Incident Management • The main purpose of the key process area Service Request and Incident Management is to identify, record, track, analyze, and resolve service requests and incidents that occur during service delivery. Both service requests and incidents are events that – if not resolved – eventually will cause the IT service provider to break its service commitments. • Service Delivery Planning • The key process area Service Delivery Planning has as its main purpose to plan the delivery of services specified in the service commitments. The service delivery planning includes the planning of service delivery activities and other service-related activities; estimation of resources needed, expected workload, effort and costs; the service delivery schedule; identification of risks, and plans for service facilities and support tools. In addition, planning data needs to be recorded so that it can be used for the planning of future services.

  9. Operational Framework KEY PROCESS AREAS clearly defined operational functions that are composed of policies, strategies, procedures and outputs • Policies – define an organizational objective • E.g. “A group will be created with clear responsibility for service request and incident management activities for all implementations of DSA Project developed FIS and customers.” • Strategy – define how the objective will be met • E.g. roles, entry criteria, activities, training, tools • Procedures – define detailed processes on how to execute strategic objectives • E.g. “Call center staff should fill out an ITSR form. These go into the Open ITSR Bin. We will use ITSR forms to track all requests, so even if you can solve the problem over the phone, you should still fill one out.” • Outputs – deliverables from this key process area • E.g. Monthly support status report with outstanding issues.
