Hey there, IT aficionados!
Ever wondered what keeps our much-loved IT services running smoothly and without unexpected disruptions? It’s not magic; it’s “Availability Management”. And the ISO 20000 has the treasure map to mastering it.

Think of availability as the heartbeat of IT services. It’s crucial, continuous, and when something goes wrong, you bet it needs immediate attention. In this grand scheme, the idea is to identify and address any risks that might interrupt this heartbeat.

Dive into the nitty-gritty of managing service availability under ISO 20000:
- Scheduled Risk Checks: Just like regular health check-ups, at planned intervals, risks affecting service availability need to be assessed and penned down.
- Determine Availability Goals: Before you set out on a journey, know your destination. What’s the required uptime? What’s the target availability percentage? Document these essential targets.
- Maintain Availability Documentation: No shortcuts here! Once you have your availability targets and requirements, keep them written down and updated. It’s like the rulebook every IT service aficionado should have at their desk.
- Monitor and Record: Like a hawk! Keep an eye on service availability. Log the results. How close or far are we from our set targets?
- Unplanned Downtimes? Investigate! Ah, the unexpected villain of the IT story. In the case of unplanned outages or disruptions, roll up those sleeves, dive deep, find out what went wrong, and more importantly, set it right. The ISO 20000 demands prompt action!
In wrapping up, while our digital realm can seem vast and intricate, with the right tools like the ISO 20000 and some passion, managing availability becomes a thrilling endeavor. Stay geeky, stay available, and I’ll see you in the next digital wave!
