, SECTION A: WORKPLACE CASE STUDY
1. ITSM FRAMEWORK AND SPECIFIC FRAMEWORK COMPONENTS
IMPLEMENTED
Identified Framework
The Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) framework is the IT
Service Management (ITSM) framework implemented by the Department of
Agriculture's Information Communication Technology (ICT) unit. ITIL is a
globally recognized set of best practices for delivering efficient and effective IT
services that align with the needs of the business. The decision to implement
ITIL was influenced by its service-based approach, ease of comprehension, and
the availability of extensive training and consulting resources.
Specific Framework Components Implemented
1. Service Management: The department adopted the ITIL framework for
managing its IT services, ensuring that the services provided by the ICT
unit meet the business needs of various departments within the
organization. The key components under this service management
include incident management, problem management, change
management, and service desk operations.
2. Incident Management: The department uses the ITSM call logging
system, which is ITIL compliant, to manage incidents. Incidents are
reported through the system, which logs the details and categorizes
them for appropriate resolution.
3. Problem Management: This is a critical component implemented to
address the root causes of incidents. Problem management includes
identifying, logging, categorizing, and investigating problems. Root
cause analysis is performed using the known error database, and
solutions are implemented through change management.
4. Change Management: The department integrates change management
into its problem management process. Identified changes necessary to
resolve problems are logged and presented to the Change Advisory
