Pre Requisites

Job Prospects:

A lot depends on your professional background, experience, the speed at which you understand ITIL and the interest you’ve in IT processes.

If you are entry-level or have a couple of years of IT experience, you can expect to be hired as a process coordinator. A process coordinator ensures that the administrative activities in a process are carried out as designed. Incident coordinator, change coordinator and configuration analyst are some of the coordinator roles available in ITIL-based IT Service Management (ITSM).

At a mid-management level, with a minimum of five years of experience, you may be asked to manage processes end-to-end. You’ll have coordinators reporting to you, and you would be accountable for ensuring that activities in service management are compliant to the processes. Problem manager, release manager and service desk manager are some of the managerial roles.
