Where did it come from? What do we mean when we say “ITSM”? Everything started with ITIL (and Prince), now it's more about lean IT. “Everything we wrap around tech to make it do what we want for the organisation” Problem: Thinking about people like software, “how do we upgrade our people” “This will shock no one in #ITSM but having attended a lot of virtual events, my conclusion is...it's not about the #technology, it's about the people. Organisation, communication, community are what really matter” https://twitter.com/ClaireAgutter/status/1333450454790000642 ITSM and DevOps How relevant is ITSM if everyone is off being agile?
