This training uses the common elements of multiple IT Service Management frameworks, including ITIL\u00ae 4 (<span>Information Technology Infrastructure Library)<\/span>, ITSM Essentials, and FitSM. This allows participants to focus on the underlying principles of ITSM: customer focus, creating value, specific practices, and how they all integrate. At the end of the simulation, participants will have fundamental knowledge of IT Service Management and experience what it is like to perform as a high-velocity IT team.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>No pre-requisite is required.<\/li>\n<li>The course is delivered in person over two days.<\/li>\n<li>12 learners are allowed per class.<\/li>\n<li>The focus is on the fundamentals of ITSM, its application and operationalization.<\/li>\n<li>ITSM simulation lab is incorporated into training.<\/li>\n<li>The digital badge is awarded upon completion of the course, including an exam at the end of day 2.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/rutgers.service-now.com\/kb?id=kb_article_view&#038;sysparm_article=KB0018538&#8243; button_text=&#8221;Learn more&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|||30px|false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;60px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;30px||30px||false|false&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset1&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text module_id=&#8221;improvement&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.0&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|25px|0px|25px|true|true&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><strong>ITSM Continual Improvement Training and Badge<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/it.rutgers.edu\/service-management\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2025\/05\/itsm-continual-improvement.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2254 alignright size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/it.rutgers.edu\/service-management\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2025\/05\/itsm-continual-improvement.png 452w, https:\/\/it.rutgers.edu\/service-management\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2025\/05\/itsm-continual-improvement-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/it.rutgers.edu\/service-management\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2025\/05\/itsm-continual-improvement-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>This workshop creates an opportunity for day-to-day operational improvement and collaboration with other ITSM practitioners in their specific practice area. Using the ITIL 4 guiding principles and continual improvement practice as guides, participants will conduct a deeper inquiry into maturing and improving their specific practice areas. Within a safe-to-fail lab environment, participants will identify potential areas for improvement in their daily operations, create a continual improvement plan for their area, implement the plan, and evaluate its effectiveness.
