Course Overview
This mentor-led programme equips professionals with the knowledge and practical tools to design, implement, and optimise service operations metrics that genuinely reflect business value. Moving beyond basic SLA reporting, the course focuses on how SLOs, KPIs, and operational indicators work together to drive measurable performance improvements in modern IT environments.
Participants will explore how to build meaningful metrics frameworks aligned with governance principles, including CSF 2.0 concepts, ensuring services are not only measured but effectively controlled and improved. Through practical scenarios, learners will understand how to avoid common pitfalls such as vanity metrics, misaligned targets, and ineffective reporting structures.
By the end of the course, learners will be able to confidently define service targets, interpret operational data, and communicate insights to stakeholders. The programme emphasises real-world application, enabling teams to strengthen accountability, improve service quality, and support governance-driven decision-making.
