Service Design

Service Service Design Design What is Service Design? The design of appropriate and innovative IT services,

including

their

architectures,

processes, policies and documentation, to meet current

and

future

agreed

business

requirements

Service Design stage of the lifecycle starts with a set of new or changed business requirements and ends with the development of a service solution designed to meet the documented needs of the business

Service Service Design Design

Service Service Design Design Five major aspects of Service Design



The design of new or changed services



The design of the Service Portfolio, including the Service Catalog



The design of the technology architecture and management systems



The design of the processes



The design of measurement systems, methods and metrics

Service Catalog Management

Service Design – Service Catalog Management Objectives

• Create and manage an accurate Service Catalog • Provide

a single source of consistent information on

all agreed services and ensure that it is widely available to those that are approved to access it

• Ensure

that a Service Catalog is produced and

maintained containing accurate information on all operational services and those being prepared to run operationally

Service Design – Service Catalog Management Basic concepts



The Service Catalog - Part of the Service Portfolio - Details of all operational services and those being prepared for transition



Business Service Catalog - Details of all the IT services delivered to the customers, together with relationships to business units and business process that rely upon the IT services - Visible to the customer



Technical Service Catalog - Details of all the supporting services, together with the relationships to supporting services, shared services, components and CI’s necessary to support the provision of the service to the business - Not usually visible to the customer

Service Level Management

Service Design – Service Level Management Objectives

• Negotiate, agree and document service levels

• Measure, report and improve service levels

• Communicate with business and customers

Service Design – Service Level Management Scope • Ensure quality of service match expectations • Existing services • Requirements for new or changed services • Expectations and perception of the business, customers and users

Service Design – Service Level Management Definitions •

SLA – A contract between the Service Provider (IT Organization) and the Customer that articulates the detail of which services are to be delivered along with the quality, performance and availability.



Operational Level Agreement (OLA) – Document to support the SLA agreed with the Internal Departments



Underpinning Contract (UC) – Document to support the SLA agreed with the External service providers / suppliers to delivery of one or more components of the end-toend service.



Service Catalog – The details of range of services that an IT Organization can deliver and different levels of service that are available to the customer. (Technical and Business Service Catalog)



Service Improvement Program (SIP) – An initiative to improve the performance of a delivering services.



Service Level Requirements (SLR) – Provides the details of list of services that are required by the customer.

infrastructure,

Services

and

supporting

organization

Produce and maintain an availability plan

Service Design – Availability Management Definitions •

Availability – Is the ability of an IT Service or component to perform its required function at a stated instant or over a stated period of time



Reliability – The reliability of an IT Service can be qualitatively stated as freedom from operational failure



Maintainability - The ability of an IT Infrastructure component to be retained in, or restored to, an operational state



Serviceability (external) – A contractual term used to define the support to be received from the external supplier in which they will support in case of unavailability of one or more services



Resilience – The ability of a component or service to keep running, where one or more components have failed.



Vital Business Function – Ensure that the primary function / deliverables of a specific service should be available

Service Design – Availability Management Activities •

Determining Availability requirements from the business and designing the availability criteria



Defining targets for the Availability, Maintainability and Reliability of the IT infrastructure components



Monitoring and Reporting Availability, Maintainability and Reliability of IT services and components



Producing and Maintaining an availability plan

Service Design – Availability Management Unavailability Lifecycle MTRS = Mean Time To Restore Service (Downtime)=> MAINTAINABILITY OR SERVICEABILITY

Incident

Incident MTBF= Mean Time Between Failures (Uptime)=> AVAILABILITY

MTBSI = Mean Time Between System Incidents = RELIABILITY

Time

Service Design – Availability Management Calculating availability Time Agreed to = Hours of Operations as per SLA Downtime = Outage as reported by Incident Management Actual Time = Time Agreed to – Downtime

% Availability =

Time Actually Available

Time Agreed to

Production of capacity plan

Service Design – Capacity Management Capacity Management has three levels of concern: - Business Capacity Management This sub-process is responsible for ensuring that the future business requirements for IT services are considered, planned and implemented in a timely fashion The current resource utilisation by various services is obtained trend, forecast or model the future requirements
