Definition of Process Subgroup
Hello All,

 

Here is the revised work strategy of the Process Subgroup.  Please
review.  Sarah, when we get good feedback, we'll
put up for voting…

 

Regards,

jDT

 

 

 

 

 

The Process subgroup is tasked with defining the standard processes,
interdependencies, and requirements for the Interfaces/Implementation Subgroup
to use to create DCML standard implementations and reference models.  This
include the definition of inputs and outputs, best practice workflows and
process flows, and inter-process dependencies from one targeted process
framework to another.  The initial work of the Process Subgroup will
center around the interactions and interdependencies of the Configuration
Management Process, its workflows, and orchestration of domain-based management
within the IT Services lifecycle.  The output of this work effort will be
the specifications, requirements, process diagrams, and process flows used by
the Interfaces group to codify the standard interfaces of the CfM Process and
its interactions, inputs and outputs, as well as reference implementation of a
multi-layered CfM process within a working model.

 

 

Future prospective processes to be defined and mapped include:

 

·        
The Processes of the ITIL Process
Framework (Change, Release, Incident, Problem, etc.)

·        
Service-Oriented Processes (

·        
Business Processes

Outputs from the mapping and modeling work by the Process subgroup will
include:

 

-       
Process diagrams and models outlining
each process to be implemented by the Implementation/Interfaces subgroup

-       
Use cases to accompany process
models and diagrams, as well as prescriptive relevance to industry usage

-       
Specifications on
interrelationships for a process to other processes

-       
Other interfaces and dependencies
on non-process oriented artifacts, if any, to accompany process outputs

-       
Detailed description and
definition of process to be mapped/modeled

-       
Detailed project plan with
milestones and dates

-       
User Guides and Documentation
