ITIL_Manager考试培训笔记及攻略

ITIL_Manager考试培训笔记及攻略 ITIL Manager考试培训笔记及攻略 1.0 关于本书 & 1.1 写作背景 写本书的冲动，始发与刚刚完成了ITIL服务经理考试之后那个下午。种种想法，具体总结起来，有以下几个条: 一( 参加了ITIL服务经理的两周的培训，感觉培训商的重点并非完全专注于怎样帮助学生应付未来的考试。虽然培训课程的内容设置没有问题，其也期望通过两周的学习，帮助同学融会贯通ITIL全部流程。但对我们这些，从小接受了应试教育的中国学生而言，总觉得，课程的内容和未来的考试的连接性，还是不够紧密。其中有空缺需要填补。就是应付考试的针对性，在ITIL服务经理的培训中还体现不够。 二( 两周的ITIL服务经理的培训，基本上是围绕OGC的Service Support 和 Service Delivery 两本著作展开的。不过，如果我们仔细阅读一下，就会感到这两本著作在书写结构上，不够统一，用词也不规范，知识点的体现也不够集中。明显表现出集体创作，而又缺乏精密协调，规范管理的痕迹。但应付考试，是很需要结构性的内容。哪个概念重要，考题会怎样出，怎样考，都是很结构化的东西。学生只有拥有一个十分结构化的知识库，才能在很短的时间内，准备好需要的知识，面对可能出现的各种问题。而原始教材的非结构化是最大的问题。 我们这一期学生，几乎在完成培训的最后几天，才意识到这个问题。于是大家自行对分散于教材中的知识点再进行整理，规范，分类，以对付考试。事实上，培训公司本应该协助做这个知识再整理的工作。不过，可能考虑由此会影响公司的未来的获利能力，所以，其只是适当地引导学生在培训中，如何组织这些知识，而没有将组织完成的成品直接提供给学生。而这也是本书所要针对的问题。 三(从 国际产业转移的角度看，随着ITIL的普及，IT 服务的规范化，随之而来的便是IT服务的全面外包。而外包的目的地，必然是中国和印度。 一个拥有规范的，按照ITIL流程操作的IT服务企业，一定会在这个产业的转移中脱颖而出。而实现这个目标，需要大量的ITIL专家。其中更需要拥有ITIL服务经理证书的高级管理人才。这也是我选用中文写着本书的原因。 回顾现有的国内的ITIL书籍市场，国内出版的ITIL书籍寥寥无几。而直接针对帮助中国学生，顺利通过 ITIL服务经理考试的书籍更是没有。 ITIL服务经理的培训和考试是笔昂贵的投资。基于考试条例的限制，每个考生必须先参加两周的培训，然后才能参加 论文 政研论文下载论文大学下载论文大学下载关于长拳的论文浙大论文封面下载 型的笔试。如果没有一个有效的应试方法和这些考生分享，而只是依赖每个考生各自的悟性来准备考试内容，那也难怪ITIL服务经理的及格分定得如此之低。 而即便这样，初考的成功率也只有50% 。 这本书的目的，就想作为一个过来人，实实在在地帮助那些，必然在全球，,服务界唱主角的中国IT经理人。 .2 本书的对象 考虑的到本书所特有的针对性，所以并不适合所有的读者。本书会对以下特定人群有很大的帮助: 一(那些完成了 ITIL Foundation V2考试，希望一探ITIL经理考试秘密的好奇者。此书将全面介绍，如何准备ITIL经理考试。事实上，我希望你看完本书的第一感觉是，ITIL经理考试并没有想象的那么难。本书是你的捷径，将鼓励你踏上另一个精彩的人生旅程,ITIL服务经理考试。 二(那些已经报名参加ITIL经理考试的两周培训的探险者。此书将是你的随身向导。他将和你两周的培训相配合，帮助你高效掌握重要的知识点，使你尽快进入临战模式，在别人还在混沌中摸索时，构建你决战考场的武器。使你先人一步，从容面对各种试题。 三(那些参加了ITIL经理考试，并且有一门或者两门失利的不幸者。我想说，你的失败不是你的责任, 而是培训课程的失败。是现有ITIL教材及培训公司的局限性的牺牲者。不过，再多的怨言，也不能抹杀ITIL 服务经理证书本身的价值。所以，痛定思痛，你必须从新开始，不犯同样的错误。而本书，将以拯救者的角色出现，改变你的视角，提高你的技能，帮助你在下次考试中，马到成功。 谈了本书的针对的对象。再谈一下对本书一些“否定”。 一(本书并非是一部全面的ITIL的基本教材。考虑的本书的针对性，很多属于低记忆价值内容都被删除了。 Service Delivery 二书。 如果你所寻找的是一部完整的教材，请参考OGC Service Support 和 二(本书并非指导读者如何进行ITIL的企业实施。实施方面的指导最适合来自有经验的实施顾问。而这类图书在中文市场上还很少见。 三(本书并不能 100% 保证你能通过未来的ITIL服务经理考试。虽然，我们提供了有效的工具。但考场如战场，即便有了最精良的武器，也需要和你的临战经验相结合。而运气则是最后的决定因素。所以本书，我们只能提高你通过考试的可能性。 1.3 本书的特别之处 以下是本书区别与其他ITIL书籍的特别之处: 一(本书不包括任何没有价值，或低记忆价值的ITIL内容。没有“垃圾”或者“噪音”信息。没有无意义的重复，来增加本书的页数。 二(本书所包含的内容将直接有助于各位的考试。写本书的目的只有一个，就是帮助你通过ITIL服务经理考试。 三(本书将直接向你提供已经过考验的应试工具。当然，读者在整个阅读的过程中，一直拥有，按照自己的经验，另外创造一件工具的权利。不过，利用现有的工具将大大节约你的时间和精力。 四(本书可以和现有的两周的ITIL服务经理培训紧密地结合在一起。将本书和培训的教材相结合，能达到意想不到的效果。 五(本书将提供很多应付考试的“秘技”。这些“秘技”往往是培训师们所不愿无偿分享的。因为培训师的价值将因为分享这些“秘技”的分享而降低。 六(本文的基本语言是中文。这样能够帮助大多数熟悉中文的读者，迅速跨越语言的障碍，迅速进入角色。不过，有关ITIL的知识点将用英文表达。因为最终的考试是以英文完成的。准确的在考试中运用英文是制胜的关键。 1.4 本书的基本结构 孙子曰:“知己知彼，百战不怠”。 在第一章，完成本书的介绍后，第二章将先介绍我们所共同面对的，,,,经理考试，以知彼。 然后，本书将着重介绍所提供的应考工具,基因学习法。之后，从第四章到第七章，本书将分四个部分，基于基因学习法，直接列出读者所要记忆的内容。这四个分部为:通用内容，Service Support, Service Delivery，流程关系图。完成这四个章节后，以知己。 知己知彼后，我们将在第八章中，利用本书通过各种渠道收集的模拟考试试题，全面演练基因学习法的效果。在这章中，所有问题，都将有相对应的答题策略。利用这些答题策略，结合基因学习法，将能够帮助你把必要的知识点结合起来。本章也是验证基因学习法有效性的一个很好的手段。另外，由于试题的来源十分广泛，可以假设，考生很有可能在未来的试卷中，遇到极其类似的问题。 通过第八章，熟练掌握基因学习法的运用后，第九章将带你将未来的战场，仔细的打扫一便。本章将基于 EXIN 所采用的两个案例，列出所有可能从Service Support或者 Service Delivery 出题的关键点。第九章，如同提供了一张，具体注明的军用地图。事实上，经过第九章的训练和大量的阅读，你在考试时，已经不需要再花时间查找任何有关案例的内容了。所有的关键点，应该在考试前，了然于胸。你就是案例，你就是地图。 知己知彼，对手里的武器熟练运用，战场的地图铭记于心。这仗是应该要赢了。不过，成败决定于细节。在第十章中，一些有关考试的细节将和你一一分享。有些细节，虽然看起来微不足道，但在短短的三个小时中，他可以为你争取宝贵的5 到 10分钟。而正是这5到10分钟，可以让你再补上一，二个知识点，拿到这关键的一分，二分。成败在于细节，这就是第十章的关键。 以上便是本书的结构。希望已经燃起了你阅读的欲望。那就请你翻开下一页，开启精彩的旅程。 2.0 ITIL 服务经理考试 2.1 考试简介 ITIL 服务经理考试是ITIL V2 体系中的最高等级的考试。和ITIL Foundation 考试所不同的是，参加考试的人员，在笔试之前，必须经过两周时间，由考试机构认可的考前培训。也就是本书中一直提及的ITIL服务经理培训。 通常，在培训前的一两周，培训公司就会让你开始阅读ITIL书籍，做一些练习，为繁重的培训周做准备。在这两周之间，有的培训公司会安排一周的间隔，以便让学生从一个主题转到另一个主题作准备。而在两周后，大约会安排另外一周时间让你自行准备考试。由此而来，整个学习的周期，大约为六周时间。相当紧张和繁重的六周， 简直可以和我当年高考时的紧张程度相比较。 每场考试为三小时。一天一场，共两场。一场针对Service Support 。 一场针对 Service Delivery 。 。每题基本针对一个ITIL 的流程展开。也有可能在大题下的小题每场考试，共5道论述大题。每题20分 中，考到多个流程的内容。考试全部为闭圈，手工，英文笔答。对于非英文母语的学生，允许携带一本非电子的字典。另外，考试提供大约每人20页规范格式的答题纸。如果不够，学生可以另外向监督人员索取其他的答题纸。 这里有个细节很重要。会在第十章谈到。 考题的内容有可能是直接要求根据ITIL 的内容，对特定的用词的定义做解释。不过大多数考题，需要和所付的案例相结合。 到目前为止，EXIN 基本上使用两个案例 – CMJ 和ITC。前者是加拿大的一个制衣公司。后者是欧洲的一个货运公司。考试学生会在培训时就拿到两个公司的案例。所以，对学生而言，应该有足够的时间熟悉这些案例，准备可能出题的地方。而这也是本书的一个重点。在本书中， 已经提供了考试案例的联接。帮助学生更好的准备案例问题。 不过，在考试的一周前，考试组织机构会将真正所要采用的案例通知考生。而最新版本的案例也会发给考生，以便准备。这里有个细节要注意，会在第十章提到。 以过去的经验谈，一般一个案例会同时用于两堂考试。但也会偶尔发生，每场考试用不同的案例的情况。本人不幸中招，Service Support 考的是 CMJ， 而Service Delivery 考的是ITC。所以在案例准备中需要付出双倍的时间。所以也有两方面的经验和你们分享。 总体感觉而言，考生会比较喜欢CMJ， 因为内容够多，IT 管理的问题也明显。比较容易联系考题。相对而言，ITC 篇幅较短，IT管理也较成熟，可操作的范围小。 另外，在考试时，考生会另外得到一份案例的补充内容，以增加考题的变化度。这个问题，会在后面的章节详细阐述。 由于考题全部通过手工书写表达，需要比较多的时间评分。考生大约需要等上一个多月才可以知道结果。 依我理解，中国学生最喜欢选择题，而最怕论述题，何况是英文论述。不过这个问题，也是本书要着重帮你解决的关键。英文论述，是个竞争壁垒，有好有坏。就看你怎样驾驭了。 以上是对于ITIL服务经理考试的一个介绍。写了这么多，如果需要再详细的内容，请自行和培训公司联系了。 2.2 ITIL 服务经理考试的价值 写这节的目的，在于解答一个问题，当ITIL 将自己的体系升级到V3后，参加V2 的服务经理考试还有价值吗,事实上，在我参加培训前，也有同样的问题，不过现在已经有了一个肯定的答案。 就是:绝对有价值。 下面是我组织的一些理由: 一( ITIL V2 是一个成熟的体系。已经发展了几十年，相当完善而相对简单。一共只有11个流程，1个功能。而ITIL V3 还在发展当中，很多课程的设置还不完整，也更加复杂，就流程就超过20个。如果依 将是一个十分复杂的过程。而V2就显得简洁多据V3 的体系，按照学分，从Foundation 到Master ， 了。 二( 在本人写这本书时，其ITIL V3最高等级的 Master 考试还没有完成。而现有的V3 Master 持有者，都是在获得V2 的经理考试后，再通过V2 到V3 的桥梁课程获取的。可以说，ITIL V2 的经理考试是获取 V3 Master 的一个捷径。从V2 Foundation 到V3 Master，如果时间安排紧凑的话，三个月，三场考试，六七万可以搞定了。走V3 的话，单是考试就有六到七次。 Brain justifi由此可见，走ITIL V2 服务经理这条路是正确的。不过，英文里讲:Gut makes decision 。es it – 肚子做决定，大脑去证明。所以，最终还是要靠你自己来判别了。 3.0 基因学习法 完成了对ITIL 服务经理考试的介绍后， 我们将进入本书的第一个关键内容 – 基因学习法。 3.1 建立学习法的必要性 在谈基因学习法之前，有必要先谈一下在应付ITIL服务经理考试中，建立相应的学习法的必要性。 其必要性，是由ITIL 服务经理本身考试的特点，教材的缺陷及培训制度的限制所决定的。 ITIL 服务经理考试，按照培训教师的说法，完全按照OGC 的两本“圣经”的教材展开。所有的回答，必须以这两本书籍为版本。在关键内容上，要做到一字不差。因为考试的目的，就是衡量考试对ITIL知识点的掌握能力。能否准确的运用教材上的ITIL术语，熟练的在日常工作中，应付各种IT管理的讨论，是将ITIL 经理级考试的通过者，和Foundation 级别的考生的重要区别。 所以，以培训师的要求，这种一字不差的要求近乎苛刻和无理。但当你听着他们，在培训中，能够熟练的将ITIL 的关键定义，一一准确的背出，却也不得不佩服他们的记忆力。 但这对于我们这些，只投入ITIL经理考试培训不过几周的学生，晚上要忙着做每天的作业，还要检查公司的EMAIL，每天搞到一两点的职业经理人而言，确是不可能的任务。 另外一个重要的原因，就是OGC 两本书籍本身的缺陷。这在前面有所提及。OGC 的 Service Support 和 Service Delivery 是集体创作的结果。但是质量管理很成问题。书本的节构，用词并不统一。 例如:Service Support 中Incident Management 有阐述考试关键内容 Critical Success Factor 和 Key Performance Indicator (KPI). 转到Problem Management 章节，这两个内容就需要自己总结了。 又如，在Problem Management 章节开始 (p95)，说明其主要活动是: - Problem control - Error control - The Proactive prevention of Problem - Identifying trends - Obtaining management information from Problem Management data - The completion of major Problem review 不过在后文(p111)，又提出了Proactive Problem Management，而将: - Trend analysis - Targeting preventive action - Major problem review 归入其例。 这种不规范性在Service Support 和 Service Delivery 二书中，举不胜举。这也增加了考生准备考试的难度。逼迫学生必须对这两本书籍做必要的整理。 其三，培训公司的问题。两周的培训对培训公司和教员是很好的业务收入。如果培训公司帮助学生，对教材进行全面整理，从而降低了考试的难度，这必然对培训公司的未来业务造成不良的影响。 所以，即便培训公司认识到建立适当学习方法，总结OGC书籍的必要性，也不会在培训开始，直接向学生全盘托出。这就导致，只有少数有所悟性的学生，才会在培训的中期，就着手整理资料，为未来的考试 做准备。而大多数学生，只是在培训快要结束时，才意识到两本书籍的不可靠性，才着手准备自己的资料。从而浪费了很多宝贵时间。 而本书就要解决这个问题。依靠本书的帮助，学生甚至能在参加两周的培训前，就全面掌握所需要的所有关键点。大大领先于其他竞争者。 基于上面的论述，只想说明建立学习法对准备ITIL 服务经理考试的必要性。下面一节，本书将毫无保留的向大家介绍本人特别建立的ITIL 考试学习法 – 基因学习法。 3.2 基因学习法的假设和核心 基因学习法的一个基本假设是，考生不可能在如此短的时间内，一字不少的记住所有ITIL 概念。于是，必须基于其他方法，帮助考生在答题时，写出关键的内容，最大可能地获得分数。 基因学习法的另一个基本假设，就是，ITIL 经理考试的评分者，并非绝对要求考生一字不少的回答所有内容。很多答案，事实上可以基于考生的实际经验，甚至基本常识来获取考分。而只有十分少数的知识点，需要绝对的准确用字。 基于以上两个基本假设，基因学习法的核心便是: 有所区别的对所需的知识点的记忆程度进行分类。尽量减少需要准确记忆的内容。对仅需非准确记忆的内容，通过由准确记忆内容的推理，排列组合而获得。 由此大大减少学生需要记忆的知识量。准确记忆的内容，如同基因一般，按内在逻辑，不断复制，推导出相关的非准确记忆内容。这就是基因学习法。 在阅读后面的章节后，你会发现，基因学习法是如此的有效，以至可以将整整两本教材，六百多页的内容，压缩到十多张A4纸中。于是，在预备考试的最后一周中，你可以彻底抛弃这厚厚的两本书，将精力集中在关键的记忆点上，再通过内在逻辑，延伸到边缘内容，以备考试。 在下一节中，将对基因学习法在ITIL考试中的运用做详细介绍。 3.3 D1/D2/D3 记忆等级 基因学习法的关键在于对所须掌握的知识，按记忆的需求，先进行分级。在本书中，我们将所需掌握的知识分成三个记忆等级:D1，D2，D3。它们的定义如下: D1:该级的内容是必须一字不差的掌握的。这些知识点是ITIL 基础中的基础。其他很多知识点大多可以从这些D1知识点中推导出来。 D2:该级的知识同样很重要。但不需记忆完整的句子。但对其中的关键字，必需完全记忆。 D3:该级是基因学习法中最低。其内容大多可以由D1或D2的内容推导而来。如果需要记忆，也只是大体上的内容。无须逐字逐句。 用到ITIL 服务经理的考试中，属于D1 的内容包括: , Process Goal - 流程目标 , Process Name - 流程名 , Activity Name - 活动名 , Key Term Name -关键术语名 属于D2 的内容包括: , Key Term Content - 关键术语内容 , Key Definitions - 关键定义 属于D3的内容及推导来源包括: D3内容 推导基因来源 Input/Output - 输入/输出 Activity - 活动 KPI - 关键表现指标 Output - 输出 Process Resource - 流程资源 Activity - 活动 Process Role丰富- 流程角色 Activity - 活动 Process Benefits - 流程益处 Activity + Process Goal + Output Problem - 问题 环境模型。将在下一章节详细论述。 CSF - 关键成功因素 Problem的反面 Cost - 成本 PPT模型。将在下一章节详细论述。 Process Relationships - 流程关系 Activity + Input + Output 该表在以后的学习中，有着相当重要的作用。在以后的章节中，将不断有所提及。现做一个简单的例子，帮助理解。 以Input/Output 和 Activity 为例。其要说明的是，通过记忆有关流程的Activity 的内容，就能自然推导出该流程的Input/Output。所以学生在学习中，无须死记硬背Input/Output 的内容。 现在以 Availability Management 中的 Risk Assessment 为例。 如果学生掌握了Risk Assessment 中的 主要活动: , Collect Risk Asset List, , Threat Identification, , Vulnerability Identification. 那么 Input 自然就是Risk Item，Business Inputs of Threat ，Business inputs of vulnerability, 而OUTPUT 就是Risk assessment result， Risk registration database 等等。如果这样回答，那就十有八九可以得到70%的分数。 对于考生而言，基因学习法如同武器，它能将ITIL 的知识有效的组织起来。不过光有武器还不能战斗，作为战士，你还需要现有弹药。而本书将在下面几个章节，直接向你输送弹药。 在下面的章节中，本书将对Service Support 和Service Delivery 的每个流程及功能，逐一过滤，将所有 需要掌握的D1，D2，D3 的内容，一一列出，最终集中在十多页A4纸大小的篇幅中，以直接帮助考生准 备考试。 4.0 通用内容 从这章开始，本书将依据上文的基因学习法，具体介绍学生在ITIL服务经理考试中，所必须掌握的内容。而我们会从通用内容开始。 所谓的通用内容，是指在每个ITIL流程的学习中，都会遇到，并且依据统一的回答方式的内容。掌握了通用内容的回答方法，学生就可以仅仅通过记忆或者理解关键的答题逻辑，来应付类似的问题，而无须死记硬背。 在这个章节，我们将又三个方面介绍若干知识点。这三个方面分别是:流程，实施及文件格式。 4.1 流程 在“流程”这个小节中，将提供以下关键知识点: , 流程的结构 , 流程中的角色和任务 , 流程的益处 , 流程的问题和挑战 , CSF - 关键成功因素 流程的结构 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 G001 流程的结构 D3 每个流程都包括以下基本内容: Process Ownership Process Goal Inputs CSF KPI Activities Output Process Resource Process Roles 在ITIL考试中，没有可能会让学生列出流程的结构。但ITIL谈的就是流程。该结构中的所有内容，都会不断作为考题，在考试中出现。所以，虽然是D3级的记忆内容，也做为第一个内容列出。 流程中的角色和任务 在Service Support和Service Delivery二书中，对于流程的角色的定义有所不同。有的流程有Process Manager.有的流程，不但有Process Manager,还有具体的工作人员。具体记忆的方法如下: 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 G002 流程中的角色和D3 Standard Responsibility = PPT + Commun 任务 ication Process: Develop + Monitor + Improve People: People Management Tool: System Activity Awareness Campaign 这些知识点，和具体的内容的联系表现如下: Develop & Maintain process – Process: Develop + Monitor , Review efficient & effective of process – Process: Monitor , Product management information - Communication , Monitor effectiveness of process – Process: Monitor , Making recommendation for improvement – Process: Improve , Develop & maintain related systems - System , Awareness campaign - Communication , Audit – Process: Monitor , Manage staff - People 以上为例，只要学生记住了PPT + Communication就可以推出Standard responsibility的相关内容。 而每个流程中的角色和责任可以归纳如下: Process Name Role- Manager Responsibility

(Remove very Processes s People area) + Activity 4.1 流程(2) 流程的益处 在考试中,往往会让你对公司的管理层做一些鼓动的宣传。而每个流程的益处是必须要熟练运用的。对于如何记住这些内容，学生同样有两个选择，一是死记硬背。二是运用基因记忆法，通过D1或D2的基因节点，由此展开。具体记忆方法如下: 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 G003 流程的益处– ProD3 Activity + Goal + Output cess benefits 这里所要表达的意思,是学生可以通过意义每个流程的主要活动，流程目标和流程的产出物，来描述流程的益处。这样，也就不需要死记书本的内容。因为Activity，Goal和Output都是D1,D2级的记忆内容。 就以Availability Management为例。 The Goal of Availability Management is: Optimize the capability of IT infrastructure service a nd support organization, to deliver a cost effective and sustained level of Availability that enab les the business to satisfy its business objective. 其主要活动包括:Determine requirements, Determine VBF, Business impact analysis, Define ta rgets, Establish measures/reporting, Monitoring, Review Incidents/Problem, Provide Availability Plan. 主要的OUTPUT包括:Availability Plan, Design, Target, Monitoring, Report 有了这些内容，如果考到要你列出10条Availability Management对公司的好处，就可轻松应付。如: , Availability management process will be able to optimize the capability of IT infrastru cture service and support organization – Goal. , Availability management process will enable IT to provide an cost effective and sustai n level of availability to support business goals – Goal. , Availability management will help business determine vital business functions – Activit y. , Availability management will help determine business impacts if system availability is not there.- Activity. , Availability management will develop availability plan to help IT organization better m anagement system availability – Output 等等，如滔滔江水一般，汹涌而出。 流程的问题和挑战 除了阐述每个流程的益处，作为职业经理人，同样必须了解实施流程时所存在的问题和挑战。具体记忆法则如下: 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 G004 流程的问题和挑D3 Environment: Management, Peers, Custom ers, Users, Tool, Other Process, Funding, 战 Candidate, Legacy 这里之所以使用ENVIRONMENT，是一个假设:任何事物不能独立于其周围的环境存在。所以，如果任何周边环境出现问题，都会就该事物本身造成问题。而这也是我们必须面对的挑战。 基于这样的假设，每个流程都会和周围这些因素所联系: MANAGEMENT:管理层的态度是决定一切的。如果没有管理层的支持，流程的实施不可能成功。 CUSTOMER:客户也是至关重要的因素。如果客户不料解该流程的益处，他们是不会愿意为次付钱的。 USER:用户是流程直接接触的对象。用户的支持，对流程的了解程度也很重要。 TOOL:所有的流程都需要工具来支持。ITIL流程涉及大量的数据，如果没有适当的工具，流程的实施不可能成功。 OTHER PROCESS:任何一个流程都会和其他流程有一定的联系。所以其他流程的成熟度，也决定了本流程的实施的难易。 FUNDING:在任何公司，资金永远是短缺的–这是现代经济学的基础。所以资金对于ITIL流程的事实永远是个问题。 CANDIDATE:任何流程都需要一个负责人。而考虑的ITIL流程的复杂性，这种人才都是难以获得的。 LEGACY:在事实ITIL流程前，企业总或多或少有一些老的工具，流程在运行，或者是就的观念。这些旧的东西，对流程的实施有帮助，也可能造成阻碍。所以可能是问题，或者是挑战。 掌握了以上几个方面，即便拿到一道20分的题目，也是随手写来，洋洋撒撒了。 CSF –关键成功因素 CSF指Critical Success Factor –关键成功因素。掌握了Problem后，在看CSF就显得十分简单。因为Problem的反面就是CSF。 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 G005 CSF D3 Problem的反面 例如，如果得不到管理层的支持，流程的实施就会有大问题。则他的反面，获得管理层的支持成了CSF。如此简单。 4.2 实施 谈完了流程方面的一些共性的内容，再来谈有关流程实施上所共有的一些特征。 流程的实施 ITIL的流程的实施是有一定的模式的。这个模式可以在所有的流程中使用。具体内容如下: 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 G006 流程的实施 D3 Assessment Planning Process to implement Process: High level process model . Detai l descriptions People: Awareness Campaign, ITIL Traini ng, Workshop Tool: Tool requirement, select, install Embedding Access/Review 所有的流程实施总开始于对现有公司情况的评估。所以ACCESS是第一步。有了现有情况，就需要对实施做个 计划 项目进度计划表范例计划下载计划下载计划下载课程教学计划下载 。第二步是PLANNING。做完计划，就涉及具体的操做了。可以从三个方面入手，也就是后文要提的超级武器PPT。 PROCESS:需要确认大体的流程模型，和具体的流程描述。 , PEOPLE;需要通过AWARENESS CAMPAIGN，培训和WORKSHOP提高员工的认知 程度。 , TOOL:需要定义工具的需求，选择以至最后安装工具。 完成流程具体实施后，下一步是确认流程真正嵌入在公司的运做中– EMBEDDING。最后，总是需要对实施的情况进行评估和审核。 这套流程对所有的流程的实施都适合。如果考到这样的题目，按上面的方法回答，再和具体流程有所结合，20分中拿到15分是应该的。 流程的成本- 超级武器PPT 这里的PPT并非微软那个PPT文件。而是PROCESS，PEOPLE，TOOL。在前面的知识点，已有使用该内容。事实上，PPT的使用十分广泛。很多知识点，都可以以PPT来归类。这里以成本为例。 流程实施的成本就可以通过PPT的方式进行表达: 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 G007 流程的成本 D3 Process: implementation cost, project cost People: Training, hiring, transfer cost Tool: system implementation, license fee 从PRCESS的角度看，任何流程的实施都需要资金。如果实施的成本，项目的管理成本，都可归入PROCESS一类。 任何流程都需要人的参与，所以相关的人员成本有:培训费用，流程关键人物的招募及工资，其他部门的转移成本等。 在工具一类，包括工具的购买，版权费等费用。 AWARENESS CAMPAIGN AWARENESS CAMPAIGN的具体流程需要掌握。具体内容如下: 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 G008 AWARENESS CD3 Formulate direction of desire change Analyze current communication and culturAMPAIGN e Target group identification Goal per group Strategy per group Media per group Communication plan Realize Measure and adjust 以上的内容，算是挺逻辑的一个过程。从确认目标，评估现有情况，到对沟通的目标分类，然后对于不同的沟通目标设定不同的目的，策略和使用的媒体渠道。将所有内容归入沟通的计划中后，就进行实施，最后再评估和调整。这是一个完整的项目管理的过程。 4.3 文件格式 谈完了流程的实施后，再补充两个有关文件格式的内容，分别是MEMO和HIRING。因为在考试中，考题可能直接要求你写一段MEMO给管理层，或者是起草一份招募书。而在文件格式上，都是有分数的。所以，如果文件格式正确，则这一两分会拿得十分容易。 备忘录– MEMO 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 G009 MEMO D3 TO:XXX FROM:XXX SUBJECT:XXX USE A DUMMY NAME 如果考题要求学生写个MEMO，就必须按照考题中所提示的内容，将MEMO写给正确的TO。这可能是一个人，或者是董事会。考生需要看清楚。在FROM处，请使用考题所提示的你的角色，如ITIL顾问，或某个流程的经理。SUBJECT要将所 设计 领导形象设计圆作业设计ao工艺污水处理厂设计附属工程施工组织设计清扫机器人结构设计 的主要内容写清楚。 最后的关键，你不可以以你的真实姓名署名。必须用一个替代的名字。保险的做法是:CONSULTANT A。或者MANAGER A。 招募书- HIRING 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 G010 HIRING D3 GOAL + ACTIVITY + BACKGROUND 在写对某个流程的招募书时，以三个内容构成你的文件。 首先使用GOAL来确认招募人员的总体责任。 , 其次，使用每个流程的具体ACTIVITY来确认适当人选在未来工作的具体任务。 , 第三，对于BACKGROUD，就可以随便发挥了，如计算机学士学位，5年工作经验，I TIL FOUNDATION CERTIFICATION，等等。 将这三点组织起来，便是一篇很好的招募书了。 4.4 本章总结 就此，将本章涉及的知识点归结在最后。便于学生复习。 Knowledge Point RemembrancKnowledge Content Gen e Coe Level de G001 Process Structure D3 Process Ownership/Process Goal/Inputs CSF/KPI/Activities/Output/Process Resource/Process Roles G002 Roles and ResponsiD3 PPT + Communication bility Process: Develop + Monitor + Improve People: People Management Tool: System Activity/Awareness Campaign G003 Process benefits D3 Activity + Goal + Output G004 Problem and ChallD3 Environment: Management, Peers, Customers, Users, Tool, engesOther Process, Funding, Candidate, Legacy G005 CSF D3 Reserve side of PROBLEM G006 Process ImplementaD3 Assessment tion Planning Process to implement Process: High level process model .

Process Goal是我们所涉及的第一个D1级的知识点。事实上，所有流程的GOAL都是属于D1 级的。对于D1级的内容，希望同学们能够发挥死记硬背的优良作风。幸好，在本书中，D1级 的内容不是很多。相信大家能够应付得来。 为了便于大家记忆，现列出以下关键字:Standard methods; procedures; handling changes; minimize; incidents. Activity 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 CHM002 Activity D2 Filtering Changes, managing Changes and Change process, chairing CAB and CAB/ Emergency Committee, reviewing and clos ing RFC, management reporting. - Planning of implementation of operation al processes - Change logging and filtering - Allocation of priorities - Change categorization - CAB meeting - Impact and resource assessment - Change approval - Change scheduling - Change building, testing and implementa tion - Urgent Changes - Urgent Change building, testing and imp lementation - Change review - Reviewing the Change Management pro cess for efficiency and effectiveness - R&R ACTIVITY是每个流程中很重要的内容，但允许一些用词的偏差，所以归为D2。在这里，ITIL 书籍的不一致性再次表现。同一章节中出现了两组关于ACTIVITY的定义。P167的比较简单， 规整。P181则加入了很多细节。不过，毕竟是出自OGC，建议学生全部掌握。 CAB 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 CHM003 CAB D2 CAB – Change Advisory Board CAB is a body that existed to approve c hange and to assist Change Manager in t he assessment and prioritization of change s. Members of CAB: Change Manager; Cust omer; User manager, User rep. … CAB Approvals: Financial/Technical/Busin ess. 考生需要知道CAB的定义。对于CAB的成员，除了列出的名单，还可以适当加入其他的相关 人。不过需要强调的是，必须有BISINESS的人参加CAB。CAB提供三个批准– FINANCIAL; TECHNICAL;BUSINESS。由此也可推导所需要的参与人。 CAB/EC 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 CHM004 CAB/EC D2 A smaller organization with authority to make emergency decisions. CAB/EC和CAB最大的区别是由于时间上的紧急性,不一定有BUSINESS的代表参加该会议。 5.1 CHANGE MANAGEMENT (2) Change 的分类 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 CHM005 Change CategorizD2 Minor Impact: few build or additional run ation time resource required. Significant impact: significant build or run time resource required. Major impact: very large amount of build or runtime resources required, or impact likely upon other parts of the organizatio n. 值得注意的是，MINOR CHANGE 可以由CHANGE MANAGER 批准。SIGNIFICANT CHAN GE 由 CAB 批准。MAJOR CHANGE 要由董事会级别的组织批准，CAB 在这里只是起建议的作 用。 Change 的定义 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 CHM006 Change DefinitioD2 Change is the process of moving from on n e defined state to another 关键字:process; one defined state to another FSC/PSA 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 CHM007 FSC/PSA D2 Forward Schedule of Changes, Projected Service Availability. FSC - Contains details of all the Changes approved for implementation and their pr oposed implementation dates. PSA - Contains details of Changes to agr eed SLAs and service availability because of the currently planned FSC. FSC/PSA 是 CHANGE MANAGEMENT 流程中两个重要的OUTPUT。 STANDARD CHANGE 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 CHM008 STANDARD CHD2 Change to the infrastructure that follows a n established path, relatively common, andANGE is the accepted solution to a specific or set of requirements. - the tasks are well-known and proven - Authority is effectively given in advanc e. - the train of events can usually be initiat ed by Service Desk - budgetary approval will typically be pre ordained or within the control of the Cha nge requester. 记忆关键字:follows an established path;accepted solution;well-known and proven;Authorit y given;initiated by Service Desk;budgetary approval。 BENEFITS 在通用内容中，曾经涉及到BENEFIT。这里再由特定的流程的角度阐述一下。 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 CHM009 BENEFITS D3 - Alignment, IT/business - Visibility of Changes. - Improved risk assessment - Reduce adverse impact - better assessment of cost - Fewer break out - Improve Problem Management and Avai lability Management - User productivity Improve - Ability to adsorb large Changes - Better perception of IT 5.1 CHANGE MANAGEMENT (3) CHANG MANAGEMENT AND CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT 这里强调一下在实施中，CHANGE MANAGEMENT 和CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT 的 关系。 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 CHM010 Change ManagemD3 Change Management and Configuration M ent and Configuranagement are best planned and implemen ation Managemented concurrently. t INPUT 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 CHM011 INPUT D3 ACTIVITY: RFC, CMDB, FSC. OUTPUT 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 CHM012 OUTPUT D3 ACTIVITY:FSC/PSA, Updated RFC, CA B meeting minutes and actions, Change Management Reports. 流程的INPUT和OUTPUT 是很重要的内容。但之所以定义为D3级的内容是因为INPUT/OUTPUT 可以从ACTIVITY 中推导出来。 PROACTIVE CHANGES 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 CHM013 PROACTIVE CHD3 Reducing cost, Improving Service ANGES PROACTIVE CHANGES 的价值就两点:成本和服务。 SCOPE OF CHANGE MANAGEMENT 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 CHM014 SCOPE OF CHAD3 Hardware; communications equipment and NGE MANAGE software; system software; 'live' applicati ons software, all documents and procedureMENT s associated with the running, support and maintenance of living systems. OUTSOURCING OF CHANGE MANAGEMENT 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 CHM015 OUTSOURCINGD3 Owner of change management process OF CHANGE Change control and payment mode MANAGEMENT Change impact to overall cost Integrity of system Security CAB member 以上是将CHANGE MANAGEMENT 外包时需注意的一些关键因素。 5.2 Release Management (1) GOAL 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 RLM001 GOAL D1 Takes a holistic view of a Change to an IT service and should ensure that all aspe cts of a Release, both technical and non-t echnical , are considered together 如上节所提，GOAL都是D1级的内容。记忆关键字:holistic;Release;technical and non-technical;considered。 ACTIVITY 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 RLM002 ACTIVITY D1 Releasing Planning Design, building and configuring of a Rel easing Release acceptance Rollout planning Communication, preparation and training Distribution and installation 之所以在这节中，将ACTIVTY升为D1，是因为这个流程的ACTIVITY在OGC的书本中定义 的比较清晰，便于记忆。另外，整个ACTIVITY就是一个 标准 excel标准偏差excel标准偏差函数exl标准差函数国标检验抽样标准表免费下载红头文件格式标准下载 的软件项目管理的流程。 BUILD MANAGEMENT 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 RLM003 BUILD MANAGD2 Software/hardware components that compri se a new Release of an IT service shouldEMENT be assembled in a controlled manner to ensure a reproducible process 关键字:assembled in a controlled manner;reproducible process。 DELTA RELEASE 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 RLM004 DELTA RELEASD2 Only those CI within the Release units th at have actually changed or are new sinceE the last full or delta release. PLUS:Less testing, urgency MINUS: More risk, compatibility errors PLUS指该方式的优点，MINUS指缺点。DELTA/FULL/PACKAGE这三种RELEASE需要结合 起来一起复习。 DHS 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 RLM005 DHS D2 Secure storage of definitive hardware spar es. - should be exactly same as life envir onment. DSL 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 RLM006 DSL D2 A secure compound in which the definitiv e authorized version of all software CI ar e stored and protected. DHS和DSL是相类似的内容。可以联系起来一起复习。 FULL RELEASE 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 RLM007 FULL RELEASE D2 All component of the Release unit are bu ilt, tested, distributed and implemented tog ether. PLUS:Any problem more likely to be de tected / Regression testing. Minus: Time, effort, computing resource. PACKAGING RELEASEING 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 RLM008 PACKAGING RD2 Packing software and hardware together to ELEASING form. a new Release. Individual Releases are grouped together t o form. package Release. PLUS:Reduce the risk of old/incompatibl e software. Test the inter working of thos e system suits and system fully. Minus: Time, effort, computing resource. PACKING RELEASEING和FULL RELEASEING有相同的缺点:消耗很多资源。特别是BUSI NESS在TEST中的资源。 5.2 Release Management (2) RELEASE UNIT 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 RLM009 RELEASE UNIT D2 IT infrastructure that is normally released together. RELEASE DEFINITION 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 RLM010 RELEASE DEFID2 A collection of authorized Change to an I NITION T service.. RELEASE POLICY 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 RLM011 RELEASE POLID2 Releasing numbering, frequency, level in t CY he IT infrastructure TYPE OF RELEASE 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 RLM012 TYPE OF RLEAD2 Major software release/hardware upgrade SE Minor software release/hardware upgrade Emergency software release/hardware fixes 这里关于RELEASE 的不同类型，可以和CHANGE 的不同类型相对应，一起记忆。 URGENT RELEASE 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 RLM013 URGENT RELED2 Depends on business; urgent full, urgent delta; urgent package, between normal/schASE edule releases. URGETN RELEAES 可以和URGENT CHANGE 想联系记忆。关键点是URGENT RELEASE 是BUSINESS 所发起的。其范围可以是FULL/DELTA/PACKAGE。 OUTPUT 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 RLM014 OUTPUT D3 Back-out plan RELEASE MANAGEMENT 还有很多其他的OUTPUT。可以依据ACTIVITY 来推导，如TESTING 就有TEST RESULT， DEFECT LIST。但需要强调的是 BACK-OUP PLAN是RELEASE MANAGEMENT 的一个重要的OUTPUT。 任何RELEASE 都必须计划好如何恢复初始状态。就如同打仗一样，任何进攻都同时准备要撤退的路线。 BENEFITS 这里罗列了OGC 所提到的BENEFITS。 同样，你可以根据通用内容章节中的方法推导出来。 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 RLM015 BENEFITS D3 Greater success rate of releasing consistency minimize impact through packaging releasi ng assurance good quality stable test/live environment better use user resource for testing minimize regression testing releasing schedule publishing error reduction complete recorder of change proper control and safeguarding of hardwa re and software absorb high rates of changes build and control remotely saving support cost reduce illegal copies detection of wrong version reduce risk reduce time fewer releases smoother transition to production PROBLEM 同样可以采用通用内容中所提及的推导方式。这里将OGC 提到的内容列出。 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 RLM016 PROBLEM D3 Initial resistance from IT Time constrain bypass process control build in testing distributed system expensive R&R resource understanding testing environment 其中，DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM 是个关键点。这和后面提到的CAPACITY MANAGEMENT 有 所联系。在分布式的工作环境中，对系统RELEASE 有特别的系统容量的要求。具体内容，参考 O GC 教材。 5.3 Configuration Management (1) GOAL 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 COM001 GOAL D1 Provide a logical model of infrastructure or a service by identifying, controlling, m aintaining and verifying the versions of C onfiguration Items (CIs) in existence.

Provide accurate information on configurat ions and their documentation to support al l the other Service Management Process Provide a sound basis for Incident Manag ement, Problem Management, Change Ma nagement and Releasing Management Verify the configuration records against th e infrastructure and correct any exception s. 以其他流程为参考，一般一个流程只有一段简单明了的GOAL的定义。不过在CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT一章中，居然提供了两段GOAL。于是，我们不得不将其全部列出。务必全部记住。 另外，如何可以简单记住Identifying, Controlling, Maintaining, Verifying ? 这里有个诀窍:ICMV – I SEE MUSIC VEDIO。喜欢音乐电视吗,那就记住了。 CI Relationships 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 COM002 CI Relationships D1 Physical relationship: Part, Connect, Use Logical relationship: copy; relate; used by CI的关系是很容易考到的内容。不但要记，还要会举例。其中以PHYSCIAL RELATIONSHIP由为重要。 ACTIVITIES 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 COM003 ACTIVITIES D1 Planning; Identification; Control; Status ac counting; Verification and auditing CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT的ACTIVITY清晰，归为D1级的内容。这里也有个诀窍可以帮助记忆:People, I Can See the VAn –老乡们，我看见货车了。P – Planning, I – Identification, C- Control, S – Status accounting, VA – Verification and auditing.另外，这类的Status Accounting要和财务管理中的IT Accounting相区别。 CI Lifecycle 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 COM004 CI Lifecycle D2 Registered; Accepted; Installed; Withdrawn CMDB 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 COM005 CMDB D2 Logical model contains all CI of infrastru cture Configuration Baseline 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 COM006 Configuration BaD2 A configuration baseline is a snapshot of a group of CIs taken at a specific point iseline n time. 记忆关键字:snapshot; a group of CIs Definitive Software Library/DSL 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 COM007 Definitive SoftwaD2 DSL - The library in which the definitive authorized version of all software CI arere Library stored and protected. DSL在前节已有提及。这里再次强调。关键字:definitive authorized version CI Identification 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 COM008 CI Identification D2 - Configuration structure and selection of CI - CI Types and life-cycle - CI relationship (part, connect to, use) - identification of software and document libraries - identification of configuration baseline - Naming conversion - Labeling CIs. Attributes 在OGC的书本中，并没有将ATTRIBUTE作为IDENTIFICATION中的一个阶段。但在其他ITIL书籍中，是包括确认CI的ATTRIBUTES。所以也将它收在这里。另外，需要掌握ATTRIBUTE的定义。 5.3 Configuration Management (2) Major Activities of Every CON Activities 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 COM009 Major Activities D2 Identification-See CON008 of Every CON AControl – See later sections. ctivities Status Accounting - CI status; baseline an d release; latest software version; owner f or status change; change history; open pro blem/RFC; Configuration verification and audit -; bef ore SW releasing; before/after changes; aft er recovery; after implementation of C M; Random check; unauthorized CI Identification的内容在前面已经提过。Control的内容将在后节讲到。STATUS ACCOUNT的内 容，也可进一步简化到:CI/BASELINE/SOFTWARE/OWNER/CHANGE。以帮助记忆。 Verification and Audit可以从记住BEFORE，BEFORE/AFTER，AFTER的内容开始，再加RA NDOM CHECK和Unauthorized CI。 On Going Control Process 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 COM010 On Going ControD2 Register new CI; Update CI; Update RFC with CI; Update and archive CI; Protectl Process integrity; Update CMDB Software and Document Libraries 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 COM011 Software and DoD2 A controlled library is a collection of soft cument Libraries ware or documents CI of known type and status. 关键字:controlled library;software or documents;known type and status.注意和DSL相区别。 Variants 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 COM012 Variants D2 Different CI with slightly different version number. But those different CI might ne ed change together. Variants是很容易考的内容。一定要能够举例证明，以说明某个CI和某个CI属于Variants. Asset Management vs Configuration Management 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 COM013 Asset ManagemeD3 Asset Management: Accounting process fo nt vs Configuratir monitoring depreciation on assets. It can be a basis for configuration managementon Management system. Configuration Management: go beyond ass et management. Relationship of CI. Status, CI regarding RFC.. 考生要会阐述Asset Management和Configuration Management的关系和区别。关键在于，Asset Management是Configuration Management的基础。但Configuration Management的范围更广。 在进行Configuration Management的流程实施时，是否有良好的Asset Management可以作为一 个前提优势。这种题目，在案例 分析 定性数据统计分析pdf销售业绩分析模板建筑结构震害分析销售进度分析表京东商城竞争战略分析 中特别适合。 BENEFITS 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 COM014 BENEFITS D3 - Providing accurate information on CI an d their documentation. - Controlling valuable CI. - Facilitating adherence to legal obligation s - Helping with financial and expenditure planning - Making software change visible - Contributing to contingency planning - Supporting and improving Releasing Ma nagement - Improving security by controlling the ve rsion of CI in use. - Enabling the organization to reduce the use of unauthorized software - Allowing the organization to perform. i mpact analysis and schedule Change safel y, efficiently and effectively - Providing problem management with dat a and trends.

Provide Availability Plan. 在DETERMINE VBF 处 之所以提到IT SCM，是因为 IT SERVICE CONTINUITY MANAGE MENT (IT SCM)将能够帮助AVM 决定VBF。这在后面将有所提及。 AVM GUIDING PRINCIPLE 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 AVM009 AVM GUIDINGD2 P1: Availability is at the core of business PRINCIPLE and User satisfaction. P2: Recognize that when things go wron g, it is still possible to achieve business and User satisfaction. P3: Improve Availability can only being a fter understanding how the IT Service sup port the business. 这是很实用的三点原则。考题可能直接要求书写三个准则并举例。 BUSINESS/USER MEASUREMENTS AND REPORTING 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 AVM010 BUSINESS/USERD2 Benefit: common measure; IT add value; MEASUREMENeasy identify degrading levels; supplier m TS AND REPORanagement.

SERVICEABILITY 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 AVM017 SERVICE-ABILID2 Contractual arrangement with 3rd parity to assure A, R. M. of IT service/componenTY t. - No separate measurements. 这里A指AVAILABILITY，R指RELIABILITY，M指MAINTAINABILITY。SERVICEABILITY是和供应商相联系的。从概念上讲，可以和SERVICE LEVEL MANAGEMENT中的UNDE RPINNING CONTRACT(UC)相联系。 TECHNICAL OBSERVATION POST 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 AVM018 TECHNICAL OBD2 Gathering of specialist technical support st SERVATION POaff, from within IT, focus on specific asp ST ects of Availability. - Real time TOP的一个特色是REAL TIME。另外，TOP不邀请BUSINESS参与，是纯粹的IT行为。 VBF 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 AVM019 VBF D2 Critical elements of business process supp orted by IT service. AVAILABILITY PLAN 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 AVM020 VBF D3 Actual vsSLA, Actions, Change AV requi rements, New requirements, SOA schedule and review, Technology. 这里列出了AVAILABILITY PLAN中的主要内容。考生要能够由这些关键字，自行展开。 AVM KEY INPUTS 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 AVM021 AVM KEY INPD3 Business Availability Requirement (SLR), Business Impact Analysis (Activity), A.R.UTS M. requirements (IT requirements.), Incide nt/Problem (S.S process, Historical Data) , Configuration (As-Is) and Monitoring Dat a (Reports) , S.L. Achievement (SLAand Actual Performance/Reports) Summary: Current (I/P,Config,SLA, Monit or), New (Biz, Tech), Analysis 这里将INPUT浓缩再浓缩。最后归结为两类:CURRENT，NEW。 在CURRENT一类中，反映的当前AVAILABILITY的一些情况，如I/P – INCIDENT/PROBLEM数据。CONFIG –指当前的CONFIGURATION。SLA特指SERVICE LEVEL ACHIEVEMENT。还有MONITOR的结果。 而NEW指新的内容:NEW BUSINESS REQUIREMENT，TECHNICAL REQUIRMENT，和B USINESS IMPACT ANALYSIS。 6.1 AVAILABILITY MANAGEMENT (4) AVM KEY OUTPUT 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 AVM022 AVM KEY OUTD3 Design criteria (Availability & recovery), Resilience techniques (Kind of design), TaPUT rgets of A,R,M, Reports, Monitoring, Ava ilability Plan - Summary: Availability Plan, Design, Tar get, Monitoring, Report 浓缩再浓缩的结果为:AVAILABILTIY PLAN， DESIGN，TARGET， MONITORING 和 REP ORT。 BENEFITS 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 AVM023 BENEFITS D3 Single ownership, design, cost justified, su pport SLA, I/P, Business/User perspective, failure reduced, proactive, IT add value. 算是比较标准的BENEFIT。 BUSINESS REQUIREMENT FOR IT AVAILABILITY 基因代码 知识点名称 记忆等级 知识点内容 AVM024 BUSINESS REQD3 VBF, Downtime, Business Impact loss ser UIREMENT FOvice, Quantitative AV Requirements, servi R IT AVAILABIce hours, Importance of different working LITY period, security requirements..

Thanks to some shrewd investments involving mergers and acquisitions, and some careful, but aggressive, growth plans in the 1970’s and 1980’s, CMJ Apparels branched out into the retail world in 1 997. Their low-end lines of clothing are still sold wholesale to major retailers, while their newer lines of high-end sporting apparel are sold in their own outlets all over the world. 于是，本文采用以下格式: Page No. 2 / Section: Background Line No. Key Words ITIL/Exam Content 4 “Retail world in 199Cost Issue.
