ITSM for DevOps®

Organisations adopting a DevOps culture and practices are able to deliver high-quality software faster, which means the business can deliver value to customers faster. ITSM processes are vital to organisations achieving this success.

DevOps doesn’t eliminate the need for controls and data. Regulatory controls and audits still exist and risks and impacts must still be managed. ITSM for DevOps introduces ways to achieve both speed and control while driving value across the IT value stream.

This non-certification course describes how to adapt IT service management (ITSM) processes in support of DevOps. You will learn and practice pragmatic approaches for streamlining and automating existing ITSM processes and for handling compliance as code.

Learning outcomes

The learning objectives for this non-certification course include a practical understanding of:

• The DevOps transformation
• How ITSM is viewed as a constraint
• How DevOps introduces new ways of thinking and working
• How to adapt ITSM processes in support of DevOps
• ITSM process integration and automation
• How to leverage Lean and Agile methods to reduce waste and positively impact both the cost and quality of processes and services

NON-CERTIFICATION ADD-ON
