SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The City of Atlanta is actively pursuing tools and techniques to aggressively progress their ITIL Maturity level to achieve world-class performance in IT service delivery. Currently, a methodology to accurately forecast demand management to predict future workload does not exist. This added capability will ensure more accurate staffing forecasts against service targets. IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) has proven itself to be a reliable framework to integrate into an Information Technology Service Management (ITSM) function. Although ITIL is well-known worldwide, little academic research has been published to date about the impact of low priority service requests impact on IT service delivery. This praxis presents the applied nature of modeling univariate IT demand management data.
