ITIL: Service Level and Capacity Management
Overview/Description
IT service can be a balancing act. For example, organizations must achieve and maintain a balance between the quality of IT service given and received in a manner that is both customer focused and cost effective. Simultaneously, organizations need to provide the required capacity for data processing and storage, at the right time and in a cost effective way.
The delivery and support of IT services are divided into core processes within the IT infrastructure library (ITIL). This course covers two service delivery processes: service level management and capacity management. This course is intended to help learners prepare for the IT Service Management Foundation Certificate exam.
