Study Notes

IT Operations, Kanban, and ITIL Lifecycle Summary

Kanban workflow stages include backlog, in progress, testing, and done, with work in progress (WIP) limits to identify and control bottlenecks.
Kanban has six major elements: visualize, limit WIP, manage workflow, ensure explicit policies, create a feedback loop, and collaboratively improve.
DevOps does not replace the significance of IT operations, as both Dev and Ops teams are essential and distinct entities.
ITIL Lifecycle for services consists of service strategy, service design, service transition, service operation, and continual service improvement stages.
The continual service improvement stage in ITIL Lifecycle emphasizes the necessity of continuous improvement throughout the service lifespan.
IT operations responsibilities include providing hardware and software, supporting IT functions, SLA specification and monitoring, information security, capacity planning, disaster recovery, and business continuity.
The IT operations team comprises IT managers, systems and network engineers, and network security professionals.
The disciplined Agile framework identifies six classifications of tasks for IT operations, including evolving infrastructure, running solutions, managing infrastructure, configuration management, IT operations governance, and Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC).
IT operations are responsible for evolving and innovating IT infrastructure to meet organizational demands, as well as running and managing solutions to ensure their effective delivery.
IT operations also manage infrastructure, configuration, disaster recovery, governance, risk, compliance, and performance metrics.
Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) involves well-planned and integrated capabilities to ensure principled performance at all organizational levels, including internal audit, risk, legal, HR, IT, finance, compliance, and third-party tasks.
The Open Compliance and Ethics Group (OCEG) defines GRC as involving the duties of internal audit, risk, legal, HR, IT, finance, compliance, line of business, board, executive suite, and third parties.
