About the Presentation

There are many misconceptions and expectations surrounding the service catalogue. This presentation explains the definition and scope of Service Catalogues as developed by the itSMF Service Level Management SIG for the recent itSMF publication 'Service Level Management - A Practitioner's Guide', and additionally addresses a number of practicalities including: what pre-requisites are there to creating one? What are the major pitfalls? What should you be trying to achieve? The speakers are both co-authors of the above SLM SIG publication, and presented at the itSMF Service Catalogue Seminar earlier this year.
