This book reflects the tremendous changes in the telecommunications industry in the course of the past few decades – shorter innovation cycles, stiffer competition and new communication products. It analyzes the transformation of processes, applications and network technologies that are now expected to take place under enormous time pressure. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the TM Forum have provided reference solutions that are broadly recognized and used throughout the value chain of the telecommunications industry, and which can be considered the de facto standard. The book describes how these reference solutions can be used in a practical context: it presents the latest insights into their development, highlights lessons learned from numerous international projects and combines them with well-founded research results in enterprise architecture management and reference modeling. The complete architectural transformation is explained, from the planning and set-up stage to the implementation. Featuring a wealth of examples and illustrations, the book offers a valuable resource for telecommunication professionals, enterprise architects and project managers alike.

Experience author John Long focuses on those non-notational aspects of modeling, which practitioners will find invaluable. - Gives solid advice for creating roles, work products, and processes - Instucts on how to organize and structure the parts of a process - Gives examples of documents you should use to define a set of processes

The idea for this book is stemmed from the questions the author is frequently asked by project managers and service management practitioners working in the information technology industry. These questions centre around the difference between change, project and release management, and the value of using release management in projects. In addition, the author is frequently asked whether project managers should adhere to the IT operational processes. The most interesting question the author found is, ‘Can I deal with a project as a change’? These questions, in addition to the author's experience of projects failing because of the lack of a handover process, influenced the author to think about the integration model that can provide a seamless IT Operating model. This book aims to help solve the conflict between IT operations and IT projects, by providing a seamless IT operating model, considering the various best practices that can be used in IT management. This book will be of interest to project managers, CTOs, CIOs, IT managers, ITSM practitioners, IT specialists, IT consultants, governance practitioners, change managers,and transition managers. It will help address many issues that exist between IT projects and the IT operational relationship.
