Abstract

IT service management (ITSM) frameworks and standards have helped to manage the planning, design, deployment, operation, and improvement of IT services in business organizations in the last two decades ago. However, the current business environment has changed from stable and midterm user demands to dynamic and short-term ones. Consequently, ITSM frameworks with an agile perspective are now emerging. This paper reviews four of the main proffered agile ITSM frameworks (ITILv4, VeriSM, FitSM, and the ISO/IEC 20000–1:2018) regarding the expected agile tenets literature. It was found that ITILv4 and VeriSM adequately fit the expected agile tenets, but FitSM and the ISO/IEC 20000–1:2018 can be considered lightweight frameworks but not agile ones. Implications for the knowledge and practice, as well as conclusions, are finally reported.
