About this book

The ultimate reference guide to IT Service Metrics


Co-published by IT Governance Publishing and itSMF USA

IT service metrics: Manage them. Measure them. Make them work for you.

Measuring success is crucial, but how do we do it? How can we be sure that the IT services we offer are adding real value to our business?

Used just as they are, the metrics in this book will bring many benefits to both the IT department and the business as a whole. Details of the attributes of each metric are given, enabling you to make the right choices for your business. You may prefer and are encouraged to design and create your own metrics to bring even more value to your business – this book will show you how to do this, too.
