In the first lesson we give a reminder about what is IT management as a service, its value for business, customers, and IT organization. We refresh basic terms and definitions, such as SLA and OLA, and the role of these documents in improving IT services.
Finally I present the business case, which will be the baseline for our training.
At lesson 2 You learn how to align business requirements to Service desk tasks.
At lesson 3 You learn how to align company level KPIs to Service desk ones. We develop a KPI structure, and examine an example how to calculate Service Desk KPIs.
At lesson 4 You learn how to develop individual metrics for SD team members in a way to support both Service Desk and company level KPIs. You examine an example of individual KPIs calculation.
In this lesson you learn about the most popular subjective metrics - for measuring both customer/user and also team satisfaction.
In this video you learn how to develop and measure subjective predictors which help us to predict ad solve issues before they happen, and thus reach high KPIs.
Lesson 5 finishes the course, and we discuss, what lessons can SD team learn from the suggested bonus system.
In this course You learn how to align Service desk (Help desk) goals and activities to business goals; develop multi-level metrics (KPI) for Service desk as a team, and individual KPI for team members.
In the second part of the course you learn how to calculate financial bonus for Service desk staff according metrics achieved, and motivate help desk operators and engineers.
I give you an example of balanced KPIs of Help Desk and their decomposition to individual metrics.
You learn how to develop a balanced KPI system for a Service desk team and its individual members!
Additional lesson contains modern approach based on subjective metrics, which indicates both - users and team members satisfaction.
Subjective satisfaction of a service is a crucial success point for a Service desk. You can follow SLA strictly, but if users and customers are not satisfied, a service provider is in a risky zone.
Team members' satisfaction is a valuable predictor for quality results. By monitoring team members' satisfaction you can find out pains and risks as early as possible, and implement corrective actions or motivate your staff. Our course does not deal with motivation approaches, but having "team's health" metrics is a valuable input into team management.
We added the video on developing predictors (or leading indicators), which help a team to identify potential issues before they happen, and thus reach KPI requirements.
