Functions. Organizing for Service Operation
Organizing for Service Operation Education and training Communication Using Incident and Problem Management Operational Audits Reviewing makeshift activities or procedures Because of the pragmatic nature of Service Operation, it may sometimes arise that makeshift activities or processes are introduced to address short-term operational expediencies. There is a danger that such practice s can be continued and become the ‘norm’ – leading to ongoing inefficiencies. Where any makeshift activities or procedure s do have to be introduced it is important that these are review ed as soon as the immediate expediency is overcome – and either dispensed with or replaced with efficient agreed processes for the longer term. Regular audit s should be conducted of all Service Operation processes to ensure that they are working satisfactorily. Problem and Incident Management provide a rich source of operational improvement opportunities. These processes are discussed in detail in Chapter 4 of this publication. It should go without saying that good communication about changing requirement s, technology and processes will result in improvement in Service Operation. However, communication is often neglected. Service Operation improvement is dependent on formal and regular communication between teams responsible for design, support and operation of services. Service Operation teams should understand the importance of what they do on a daily basis. Education is required to ensure that staff understand what business function s or services are supported by their activities. This will encourage greater care and attention to detail and will also help Service Operation teams to better identify business priorities. Training programme s should ensure that all staff have the appropriate skills for the technology or application s that they are managing. Training should always be provided when new technology is introduced, or when existing technology is changed. A function is a logical concept that refers to the people and automated measures that execute a defined process, an activity or a combination of processes or activities. In larger organizations a function may be broken up and performed by several departments, teams and groups, or it may be embodied within a single organizational unit. Figure 6.1 Service Operation functions The Service Operation function s given in Figure 6.1 are needed to manage the ‘steady state’ operational IT environment. These are logical functions and do not necessarily have to be performed by an equivalent organizational structure. This means that Technical and Application Management can be organized in any combination and into any number of departments. The second-level groupings in Figure 6.1 are examples of typical groups of activities performed by Technical Management (see Chapter 5) and are not a suggested organization structure. The following is an overview of the Service Operation functions in Figure 6.1:
Special note on Information Security Management
Although most would agree that Information Security Management is a function, it is highly specialized and spans several phases of the lifecycle. It is also responsible for the oversight of many activities within all Service Operation functions. For a more in-depth description of Information Security Management, please refer to the Service Design publication and to section 5.13 of this publication.
