Description
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. The book encourages readers to design and create their own metrics to bring even more value to their business, and explains how to do this.
