Join the movement that is sweeping the ITSM community. Find out about Real ITSM, as it is done in the real world.

It is not often that ITSM books are funny, but - according to readers - this one is funny. What readers are saying:

Announcing Real Lean Green SixSigma Cloud SaaS ITSM

The Real IT Service Institute (RITSI) is proud to announce the release of Real Lean Green SixSigma Cloud SaaS ITSM, or RLGSSCSSITSM for short(-ish).

The Buck Manager

Every IT organisation should have a Buck Manager - it is an essential role.

From the book Introduction to Real ITSM:

8.1 Buck Manager

A buck can be defined as any detectable or discernable accountability that has significance for the management of the IT department or their staff or the operation of the department, and evaluation of the impact an accountability might cause to the department.

Real ITSM organisations operate on the principle of functional and hierarchal (horizontal and vertical) buck passing.

Real ITSM on Categorisation

From the official Introduction to Real ITSM:

5.7 Categorisation

An area that agitates the perfectionists among us is categorisation; of services, incidents, problems, changes, assets, pencils…

Real ITSM product compliance

Oh dear, DogmaITSM may have to amend the book Introduction to Real ITSM. Most of you will recall that the book says

    1.8.5 FavorITSM

    In order to regulate the Real ITSM industry, and thereby protect the integrity of RITSI and public confidence in Real ITSM, RITSI issues compliance certification to users, products, and services under the FavorITSM program.
