As IT teams grow, they have to deal with a constant increase in the volume of requests and incidents. This leads to a reactive way of working: your teams are constantly dealing with unplanned work and lose sight of delivering value.
IT service management (ITSM) focuses on how best to coordinate people, processes and information technology to guarantee optimal service. Some of the benefits of ITSM that lead to improved service and reduced costs are:
- Alignment of IT teams with business priorities.
- Customer-focused service desk and more efficient request management.
- Knowledge management to promote a team culture.
- Integration of software development and operations teams and the ability to collaborate across departments.
- Continuous delivery and simplified change control through automation and collaboration.
- Agile project management to accelerate incident prevention and resolution.
But it’s not just about providing good service. You also need to be able to accelerate the speed at which your teams work. Jira Service Management is an ITSM solution built by Jira to help IT development and operations teams collaborate at high speed, respond rapidly to business change and deliver a great service experience to customers and employees alike.
As well as features such as help and support portals, a service catalogue, queues, SLAs and automation, Jira Service Management boasts:
- Change management designed for the DevOps era: delivering improved decision-making with more comprehensive contextual information from both software development and infrastructure-related tools. Automated risk assessment, advanced approval flows and integrations with popular CI/CD tools such as Bitbucket, Jenkins, etc. help to accelerate innovation.
