    INTRODUCTION

    Thanks for picking up this book!

    If you are looking for a book to help you implement COBIT®5, ISO/IEC 20000 or ITIL®, put this book down and go find the actual documentation from COBIT, ISO/IEC 20000 and ITIL. Frankly, this isn’t the book for you.

    This book addresses how to use COBIT5, ISO/IEC 20000-1:2011 and ITIL together to create a stronger and more robust Service Management System (SMS). We recognize there are many service management frameworks, standards and methodologies, including those within project management (PMI®, P30®, PRINCE2®). On purpose, we didn’t include every service management framework, standard or methodology, or any of the project management frameworks for two reasons:

    Project management deals with the planning and execution of a defined, funded and agreed plan of action.

    We wanted to keep the book manageable:

    Simple is effective.

    This is a book on how to evaluate and assess a situation using the Five Anchor Framework and, based on that assessment, apply the guidance from COBIT5, ISO/IEC 20000-1 and ITIL to create a comprehensive improvement plan. We’ve provided a table at the end of the book where we have mapped COBIT5, ISO/IEC 20000-1 and ITIL to assist in the information gathering.

    Use this book to think differently, leverage the strengths of COBIT5, ISO/IEC 20000-1 and ITIL, and mitigate the inherent weaknesses in each.

    Happy Reading!

    Suzanne and Mark

    CHAPTER 1: WHY THIS BOOK

    As independent consultants, we are constantly asked the same set of questions:

    Aren’t these frameworks for big companies only?

    "Where do we start? What do we have to do?"

    What do we measure?

    Is there a difference between ‘prescriptive’ and ‘suggestive’ when it comes to frameworks?

    "Isn’t ITIL (insert any other service management framework/standard/methodology¹) better than COBIT (insert any other service management
