Abstract

Best Practices are highly valuable advice from people and their experiences. Best Practices often result in learnings from ‘worst practices’ and failure situations. While I describe Best Practices for program management, cut-over projects, and huge transition projects, I also added a short paragraph with regards to “worst practices”. The reader, however, can pull significant value from the sign-off criteria for go-live. The complete checklist “IT Transformation” provides all project items, that need to be ticked off to run a successful massive transformation program.

“A set of best-practice publications for IT service management. ITIL gives guidance on the provision of quality IT services and the processes, functions and other capabilities needed to support them. The ITIL framework is based on a service life cycle and consists of five stages (service strategy, service design, service transition, service operation and continual service improvement), each of which has its own supporting publication. There is also a set of complementary ITIL publications providing guidance specific to industry sectors, organization types, operating models and technology architecture.”
