Do your reports drive decisions, or just describe motion?
Most service management reporting looks impressive right up until someone asks a simple question: So what should we do differently? If the answer is “nothing, but here’s a chart of ticket volumes,” then it isn’t reporting. That’s the trap a lot of organisations fall into. They build dashboards full of open counts, SLA…

Your Service Catalogue is Lying to You!
🗒️ Request Lists Aren’t Service Catalogues If your IT service catalogue can’t tell you what services you offer, who owns them, and how they deliver value, it’s not a service catalogue. In many organisations, the “service catalogue” is really just a list of things people can ask for. Too often, what shows up is: “Request a…

You don't have a platform problem. You have an operating model problem.
🔍 Reading between the tickets I often work with organisations moving off legacy ITSM tools onto Jira Service Management. The brief is usually cost reduction. Replatform quickly and move on. But as a consultant, I always peek at the service data first. It usually tells me exactly what needs to happen. Hundreds of reports,…

How do you build awareness, generate excitement,…

Keen to understand current level of integration with JSM & future roadmap
We're currently implementing JSM and using Assets & Services. For our CI, we've taken the Services route rather than creating a technical services schema with objects to leverage service reporting, MIM & change enablement. This approach leaves a bit of a gap in our needs. I've read a few posts about upcoming Opsgenie & JSM…

Interacting with AAD Groups
Hiya, We're implementing JSM, and I'm keen to learn more about auto-provisioning for 3rd party apps. From what I can see, our options are sending a web request via the automation engine or triggering a deployment pipeline.
