Service Transition meeting

Coordinated by the Service Process Coordinator leader. Brings together as many of the interested parties as possible for an overview of the service and the ways in which the Operational Framework can serve to support it. During this meeting, if information is available, we cover as many of the following areas as possible. Following that meeting, individual process leaders may engage further with the service provider to ensure that the service can be fully supported.

The Change Manager reviews Change Management guidelines and practices and answers questions. Special needs to help the service efficiently enter Change Requests and engage with Change Management can be considered.

The Configuration Manager ensures that the CMDB accurately includes all relevant Configuration Items (CIs). Working in cooperation with the Change & Incident Manager, with participation from System Engineers and others, we ensure that accurate information is available for impact analysis and troubleshooting.
