We must take into account the final goals we have set for the business and see how the IT organization can assist in achieving those targets through continuous improvements. Whilst accomplishing this, consider future and present plans as well.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Define what should be measured:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A comparison should be made between what we can ideally measure and what we can actually measure. Gaps should be identified and a realistic measurement plan should be incorporated to support the strategy for improvement.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Collect the essential data:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Data is gathered through persistent monitoring.

The information is further evaluated by considering all the relevant internal and external factors. It also helps to answer questions regarding something that is good or bad and whether is it expected and in line with the targets.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Proper presentation and utilization of information:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The information which is gathered and analyzed needs to be presented in a proper manner with the right amount of detail so that the information is comprehensible and provides the required amount of detail to support informed decision-making.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Implement the improvements:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A change implemented with continuous improvement sets a new baseline for the entire process.

This helps to define the service baseline and processes, metrics, KPIs, critical success factors, and corrective measures to identify and improve the gaps in IT service management. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ITIL CSI desires a commitment from the people working throughout the service lifecycle.
