,IRM4720 Assignment 2 (COMPLETE ANSWERS) 2024
(330426) - DUE 28 August 2024
The assignment is based on a specific organisation in
South Africa that you should identify yourself. I
recommend the organisation you are working at. If the
organisation that you work at does not have such an
implementation, do research, and find an organisation
that implements any of the ITSM frameworks. If you
cannot find an organisation, then create a comprehensive
‘fictional’ case study and answer the questions based on
it. The goal of this question is to provide you with an
opportunity to experience how the ITSM frameworks are
implemented in the real world and recognise the
challenges faced by organisations. NOTE: Use the
provided template to answer this question. Questions
Discuss the ITSM framework(s) that are implemented in
the organisation you identified. Then discuss the
implementation of the identified framework in that
organisation. The discussion points must cover the
following aspects: 1. The framework and specific
framework components implemented are identified. (4) 2.
How the framework components are implemented and
what exactly are the objectives the components intend to
achieve? (8) 3. Critical analysis of whether the
components are succeeding in achieving the objectives. If
there are gaps, provide potential solutions or
improvements. (8) Downloaded by Corona Virus ()
