One of the goals of a successful Service Transition operation is to use processes that can be applicable on several applications and frequency, that's why it is necessary to have them built on a common framework. By doing this, service integration is easily achieved.
Publish standards and best practices for Service Transition
By having a standardized process in the Service Transition operations, it is easier to achieve a more centralized working environment. A service lifecycle that uses a trustworthy and efficient process can only do positive wonders for the status of the company.
Provide a framework for establishing consistent processes
It is best to provide a guide to help establish the status of a process. Service Transition can achieve a successful deployment of a service when it is aware of whether their attempts are on par with the recommended process, or if it at risk of failure.
Provide supporting systems to automate standard processes
Changes made in the Service Transition process would be easier to release and adopt if there was a supporting system that readily accepts standard process changes.
Ensure there is management understanding of the need for standard ways of working
The Service Transition process should make sure that the changes made in their service lifecycle is synchronized with the demands and visions of the Business Case. It should be imperative that there is management understanding before undertaking any known changes in the service.
Establish the level of management and stakeholder commitment
For Service Transition to take flight, it is necessary for both parties to acknowledge and establish their level of commitment to the project at hand. Like everything else, a project or a service can only go so far with the kind of efforts that an owner would put into.
Continually plan how to improve the buy-in to adopting a common framework
It is essential to keep thinking of ways to improve the working frameworks and how it can be used to other services and applications.
