Why study this course

Learn how to use Agile Service Management to increase the customer value your processes create and to compete in a fast-paced disruptive world. A Certified Agile Service Manager (CASM)® is the working equivalent of a development Scrum Master. Together, Scrum Masters and Agile Service Managers can instill Agile thinking into the entire IT organisation as the basis of a DevOps culture.

This two-day course provides an introduction to Agile Service Management, the application, and integration of agile thinking into service management processes, design and improvement. Agile thinking improves IT’s effectiveness and efficiency, and enables IT to continue to deliver value in the face of changing requirements.

IT Service Management (ITSM) focuses on ensuring IT services deliver value by understanding and optimising their end-to-end value streams. This course cross-pollinates Agile and ITSM practices to support end-to-end Agile Service Management by scaling to “just enough” process leading to improved flow of work and time to value.

Agile Service Management helps IT to meet customer requirements faster, improve the collaboration between Dev and Ops, overcome constraints in process workflows by taking an iterative approach to process engineering that will improve the velocity of process improvement teams to get more done.
