An inflexible service management practice that fails to deliver timely services can cause many pain points:

  • Business and IT teams that are disengaged and do not have tight integration.
  • Stakeholders who are unsatisfied with the services provided.
  • Loss of IT credibility and support for IT due to inflexible or slow service delivery.

Agility in service management will:

  • Increase business satisfaction and organizational confidence in IT.
  • Increase the flexibility and responsiveness of service delivery to the business.
  • Improve collaboration between teams within IT and between business and IT.
  • Improve the relationship and communication between stakeholders and IT.
  • Build an environment suitable for innovation with motivated staff.
