Buy Visible Ops Handbook: Implementing ITIL in 4 Practical Auditable Steps (One of the Bestselling ITIL Books Worldwide!)

The intent of this handbook is to provide an overview of the methodology that the Publisher has developed known as Visible Ops. Since 2000- the Publisher's have met with hundreds of IT organizations and identified eight high-performing IT organizations with the highest service levels- best security- and best efficiencies. What was most amazing about these eight organizations was what they shared: a common way of managing change- a culture of causality- and value placed on controls that were both visible and auditable.

Visible Ops reflects the lessons learned about how these organizations work and describes a control-based entry point into the world of ITIL. Organizations can use Visible Ops to springboard their own process improvement efforts.

The four steps covered in the book are:

Step 1) Stabilize the Patient
Step 2) Catch & Release and Find Fragile Artifacts
Step 3) Establish Repeatable Build Library
Step 4) Enable Continuous Improvement

Here are the contents of this book.
