What the IT Skeptic is reading...

Brilliant mind-candy, with soem insights too:

Everybody's talkin' 'bout...

...is in fact ITSM for Dummies, not general at all. Yay! Hope for my book.

...received a copy, will read it soon.

...I enjoy reading my own work.

...what a useful Guide to ISO20000 and includes most of the text of the standard too!

...should be much more widely known and used.

...is possibly the most USEFUL book I ever read!

...and I'll review it one of these days.

ITIL V3 Service Lifecycle

ITIL
V3

The lifecycle extension of ITIL version 3 is orthogonal to process - it is a new dimension.

Your lifecycle processes may need change: how you do what the service lifecycle does. Just as ITIL v2 changed the way you do service management, ITIL v3 will change the way you do service lifecycle.
