There aren't many funny ITSM books
According to all the reader feedback so far, the satirical Introduction to Real ITSM is funny! Special Recession price!

The IT Skeptic's book Owning ITIL® is now available on the "other" Amazon sites such as Amazon.co.uk. It has been available for some time on Amazon.com
This compact book is aimed at decisionmakers to help you make the right decisions about ITIL (and at those who propose ideas to them to help you be successful). Some ITIL projects shouold never have seen the light of day. instead of perhaps 3 out of 10 projects succeeding, let's strive for 5 out of 7. That is to say, by killing off the worst 30% of project proposals, we can free up resources to do the remaining 70% properly (or perhaps save your organisation from spending any money at all). The book addresses these key questions:
What should you watch out for in ITIL proposals (and projects)? How to improve the chances of ITIL succeeding? What to ask for or expect from an ITIL project? What about tools? If you have a line item in your budget, a proposal before you, or a task assigned to you with the word "ITIL" in it (or implied), buy this book in your own defence.
Also available on Amazon.de, Amazon.co.jp and presumably all other Amazon regionals. For links to all the IT Skeptic's books click here  Buy your books here to support this blog: |
