EXIN Specialist in IT Service Management based on ISO/IEC 20000 Training and Certification


 


IT service management describes the design, delivery, support and improvement of IT related services to support business outcomes. The international standard for IT Service Management, ISO/IEC 20000:2011, makes it clear what is essential: one must define and agree to service requirements, plan resources to meet business outcomes, support service delivery and provide value for the customer and the service provider. The standard is a valuable source of support for those organizations who want to certify their management system against this standard but also for those organizations who just want to implement a lean, common sense, service management system.


The IT Service Management Specialist certificate specifically describes the practical activities and competences of the Specialist-level member of an IT organization. This skill set builds on the foundation knowledge, taking the high-level information gained in the Foundation course and providing additional depth and practical context. The Specialist has a much more ‘global’ view of the standard as well as the daily activities required to maintain or achieve ISO/IEC 20000 implementation. The Expert possesses the competences to provide the necessary guidance and direction for the Specialist activities as well as lead and manage the Service Management program.


The Specialist is strongly focused on the install, plan, do and check activities of Deming’s PDCA cycle and supporting the elements of audit and improvement (act). Of course, all activities would be under the guidance and supervision of the Expert to ensure the outcomes of the work will conform to the organization’s mission and vision as well as to the requirements of the standard.
