4 out of 5 stars Add it to your ITIL collection   May 28, 2008
I too agree with previous reviewers of this book. Unlike many ITIL books, you are quickly given Key Performance Indicators and Critical Success Factors that you and your team members can use and build on.

I found that the included ITSM Metrics Model spreadsheet tool to be of some use. I was very surprised and disappointed that it can't be built upon/extended since the write permissions have been locked.

However, I didn't find the included DICE model spreadsheet tool very useful for our needs since it is very basic.

If you get nothing else out of this book, the author clearly tells you how to create KPIs, CSFs, Tolerances, and metrics that matter.

Because of this, I've earned a lot of points with my boss and executives for just for purchasing this book and for trying to apply/create better metrics for our executives and a metrics program for our department.

5 out of 5 stars Cliff notes for ITSM metrics - Stands on its own but is better as a complementary text   December 29, 2007
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

Wouldn't it be nice if you knew what you desired to measure and analyze prior to rolling out new ITSM processes or their enabling tools? What if you have no former point of reference or an entire lack of metrics? You could start from scratch or use this book as a starting point and modify accordingly. The later option will provide more time for determining how best to capture, disseminate, report and conduct trending - which is what you really care about anyways...

Don't expect a silver bullet. This book (more like a booklet) provides generic quality metrics spanning the data, operational and service perspectives. It is short and concise using mostly tables and lists and draws upon many of the KPIs included within the ITIL core texts. It's a great way to save time and get diverse IT folks operating from a common reference but like all successful metric initiatives, customization and targeted efforts will still be necessary. It also includes a decent excel dashboard to get you rolling.

As a previous reviewer mentioned, it is best when paired with other texts for a more comprehensive presentation of metrics theory, challenges, benefits and techniques. I too would recommend "Visible Ops" and add to that list "Metrics for IT Service Management" by Peter Brooks. Each book promotes a different perspective and breadth but together they cover all the bases particularly well.



4 out of 5 stars Schaum's Outline Guide to ITIL Metrics   August 28, 2007
Randy Stienberg gets to the heart of the measurement and metrics very quickly with practical lists.
I found the information to be an instant hit with my customer management and my team.

2 out of 5 stars Short but useful   May 14, 2007
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

Short book that has a quick (1 hour) read. Practical to follow, but short on depth. Get if you want to quickly implement reporting but do not expect details on actual implementation.


4 out of 5 stars I like it, but yet to prove out if these metrics really matter   March 26, 2007
 4 out of 6 found this review helpful

This book is set up clearly within the ITIL framework, and a co-worker and I now call this book our "bible" as we review our organizational metrics. However, one thing I found annoying about this book is that answers are posed in the form of a question. Example: the KPI is Incident Labor Utiliation Rate and the Question Being Answered is How much available labor is spent handling incidents? The question I get is what does is mean not what question does this answer. They do not like being told what they want to know. Perhaps I'm not convincing enough in telling them they want to know this information - that remains to be seen. In short, I find this book very useful most most managmenent levels but not as exciting to executive level management.
