Metrics for IT Service Management

Many organisations find it very difficult to use metrics properly and badly designed metrics can be actively harmful to proper business functioning.

This book addresses the causes of these difficulties and presents workable solutions. It provides a general guide to the design, implementation and use of metrics as a mechanism to control and steer IT service organisations, and specific recommendations for applying metrics across ITIL, ISO20000 and other processes, discussing the rationale of the recommendations.
