Most companies don’t fail at ITIL.
They fail at discipline.
ITIL is simple:
• Incidents → Restore service fast
• Problems → Stop repeat failures
• Changes → Reduce risk
• SLAs → Protect customer trust
But here’s what actually happens:
❌ Incidents closed without root cause
❌ Emergency changes every week
❌ SLAs tracked only during audits
❌ Post-incident reviews skipped
ITIL doesn’t fail.
Leadership without accountability fails.
If your Problem Management isn’t reducing repeat incidents,
you don’t have ITIL — you have ticket management.
As a Service Delivery professional, I measure success in:
✔ Reduced MTTR
✔ Fewer repeat incidents
✔ Fewer emergency changes
✔ Happier business stakeholders
Frameworks don’t deliver value.
Execution does.
