Information Technology Infrastructure Library ITIL (formerly known as the Information Technology Infrastructure Library) is a set of practices for IT service management (ITSM) that focuses on aligning IT services with the needs of business. In its current form (known as ITIL 2011 edition), ITIL is published as a series of five core volumes, each of which covers a different ITSM lifecycle stage. Although ITIL underpins ISO/IEC 20000 (previously BS15000), the International Service Management Standard for IT service management, the two frameworks do have some differences. ITIL describes processes, procedures, tasks, and checklists which are not organization-specific, but can be applied by an organization for establishing integration with the organization's strategy, delivering value, and maintaining a minimum level of competency.

The Many Faces of IT Governance: Crafting an IT Governance Architecture Information technology (IT) governance is moving more and more into the limelight as a means to improve IT performance, deliver optimum business value and ensure regulatory compliance. The key practices in support of these goals are strategic alignment, IT asset and resource management, IT investment and portfolio management, risk management and sustained operational excellence. Interest has evolved from a compelling argument into a focus on pragmatics: what approach and leading practice framework(s) should be used and how should IT governance be tailored to meet the needs of an organization? As is true with many initiatives, misdirected enthusiasm during the early stages of an IT governance implementation project can easily lead to the proverbial “ready, fire, aim” scenario. Establishing an IT governance program can be characterized as a blend of systematic process analysis coupled with aspects of behavioral science.

Technology Governance in a Simple Model - Enterprise Architecture in Higher Education I talked about a governance model that has evolved over the past 5 years in our organization in many previous posts. I realize now that I have not actually explained the model, so here we go!
