RecommendationsStep back and review the work you do.
• What are the needs from your customers?• What is your short term and long term team strategy?• Is your work standard or case management?• Do you need one or more ways of working?• Does your organisation follow Agile or Lean or neither?• Are you a dedicated ITSM team or do you share roles?
