Pressestimmen
"This is more than a book, it's a practical, useable "A to Z" of IT Service Management Metrics! Peter Brooks (Author) has given us all a crystal clear view of a neglected, blurred piece of the IT Service Management puzzle. As a Principal ITSM Consultant working for Foster-Melliar in South Africa I am continuously disappointed by the many ITSM books produced that generally regurgitate what is already known by many in the industry. Metrics for IT Service Organisations provides a vast array of possible audiences something that many ITSM volumes do not, and this is a Practical, useable view of "How" to plan for, design, manage and improve the critical measures IT Service organisations require from both a strategic, tactical and operational perspective. I don't carry many books around with me, this one, I most certainly will!!" Ian Clark Principal ITSM Consultant Foster-Melliar "With all the focus on IT Governance and IT Business process management. It is easy to see why metric are becoming hugely important for the management of organisations. In reality however, getting the right set of metrics in place is by no means a simple exercise. Metrics for IT service organisations can be a great help. Using ITIL as the basis the book lists many useful examples of metrics. But what is more important, is that it gives us insight into to creation of "good" metrics and the dangers of "bad" metrics. " Emma Speakman IT BPM consultant SA/NL/UK "Looking for a comprehensive, in-depth exploration and explanation of what metrics to use in your ITSM journey? Then 'Metrics for IT Service Organizations' by Peter Brooks may be exactly what you're looking for. This (new) book not only covers what metrics need to be seriously considered, but explains the 'why' and 'how' behind selecting and defining them, pointing out along the way many of the dangers and pitfalls of selecting the wrong ones; or too many. If you tend to agree that 'what gets measured gets done', then applying the ideas in Peter's book will assist you in getting the right things done." Ken Wendle (FISM) previous President of the itSMF USA, works as a Senior Solution Architect for Hewlett Packard's OpenView Software division
Kurzbeschreibung
This book considers the design and implementation of metrics in service organizations using industry standard frameworks. It uses the ITIL process structure and many principles from the ITIL and ISO20000 (BS15000) as a basis. It is a general guide to the use of metrics as a mechanism to control and steer IT service organizations. A major reason for covering this topic is that many organizations have found it very difficult to use metrics properly. This book will deal with the causes of the difficulties to implementing metrics and will present workable solutions. It provides a general guide to the design, implementation and use of metrics as a mechanism to control and steer IT service organizations. It also provides specific recommendations for applying metrics across the ITIL, ISO20000 (BS15000) and other processes, discussing the rationale of the recommendations. This enables an organization to implement the metrics as described directly as a first-pass solution that can be benchmarked against other organizations. But they can also be used as a starting point for customizing particular metrics. Badly designed metrics can be actively harmful to an organization's proper functioning. Producing a set of metrics that avoids the pitfalls and delivers genuine value is not easy. This book will make that task much simpler and less error prone.

Format:Taschenbuch
Ich wurde vor die Aufgabe gestellt die Leistung meiner IT-Abteilung sichtbar und vergleichbar zu machen, dabei war mir Peter Brooks Buch eine große Hilfe. Er stellt eine Vielzahl von möglichen Kennzahlen vor. Erläutert ihre Bedeutung und stellt sie in den großen Zusammenhang. Mit Hilfe dieses Buches gelingt es mit Sicherheit ein, zwei Dutzend Kennzahlen über die eigene IT zu erstellen und sie damit mit anderen IT-Abteilung in Wettbewerb treten zu lassen. Das gesamte Werk ist gestopft voll mit Ideen über quantitive Meßmethoden der eigenen IT. Sein Englisch ist leicht verständlich. Das Buch ist für ein Fachbuch angenehm und ohne allzu großen Konzentrationsaufwand zu lesen.
Absolut empfehlenswert.

A Metrics-based focus for IT
8. Januar 2007
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Meat and potatos metrics - no fluff. Very organized approach to establishing a strong metric-based IT environment. Offers a comprehensive set of goals, mission statements, and objectives for each catagory of process. Offers specific metrics (target as well as warning level) for the gamut of IT functions. Identifies stake holders, constraints, specifications, and justification for each metric offered. Probably could use a glossary for all the acronyms, but that's a minor issue.
If you need to develop metrics for an IT environment, buy this book or hire a consultant who has read it.

Save your money
17. April 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
This book is over-written, by that I mean a list of ITSM metrics is over-discussed and can be found for free on the web. Looking at the volume of metrics, Mr. Brooks clearly isn't in the camp of "measure what matters", he's more along the lines of "measure whatever doesn't move, and if it does move, stop it from moving, and then measure it". This could quickly lead to no one paying much attention to metrics. Pick a handful of the most important value heavy metrics and track those. Also Mr. Brooks should use bullet graphs to clean up his visuals depicted in his book. Look on page 90 and tell me how many dotted lines can you distinguish between? Because he has 8 of them in one line graph along with 9 other types of lines. It looks like a hairball mixed up with a wad a Christmas tree lights with a little fishing line tangle thrown in for good measure.

Measure IT Service Management -- a reference source to position solutions, manage delivery, and improve
6. Oktober 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This comprehensive text should be an invaluable guide for those in a wide variety of roles across the IT supply chain, to set up a meaningful program for measuring and improving their activities, while continuing to more closely align IT to the needs of the business.
If in sales, think about how this information can help you provide improvements and measurable services/solutions to your clients.
If in delivery/management, consider how this information can help you understand a consistent version of the truth and monitor your operations and improvement.
In vendor management, there is information here of value to improve your relationships and value of suppliers.
The flow of the book is logical, and defines key topics such as:
- What are metrics all about?
- Why/where/who/and how to use metrics.
- Metric design
- Integrating metrics into related areas including governance, COBIT, Six Sigma, and more.
In addition, operational definitions of metrics for the following ITIL and related processes are provided:
- Incident Management
- Service Desks
- Configuration Management
- Change Management
- Release Management
- Operations Management/ICT Infrastructure Management
- Service Level Management
- Problem Management
- Financial Management for IT services
- Capacity Management
- IT Service Continuity Management
- Availability Management
- Security Management
- Continuous Service Improvement Programs
- Risk Management
- Documentation Management
- Competence, Awareness, and Training (CAT)
- Program & Project Management
- Business Perspective Metrics (including business and supplier relationship management metrics, and more).
Each reference metric provides a:
- Description
- Specification
- Justification
- Audience
- Constraints
- Danger value
- Target value
- Possible values
Within the book, are examples of formulas for calculating metrics, as well as examples of good and bad metrics.
There are also repeated clear caveats about going overboard on metrics and ensuring that what is measured, is used, and has value. As an example, chapter 11 "Continuous Improvement with Metrics" states "It is important to understand exactly what actions can be taken if a particular metric delivers a result that is outside the desired range. If there is no particular action then it is better not to collect the metric. It costs money to collect information and this is justified only if the information is useful."
All in all, this a fine reference source with appropriate balance and pointers toward more information (e.g. COSO, COBIT, et al) when necessary.
