OpenAI ChatGPT is a new AI tool that can interact in a conversational way. It can follow instructions, answer questions, admit mistakes, challenge premises, and reject requests.

Fixing IT's Most Costly Mistake – Part 3

This is Part 3 of a 3 part series on using the ITIL Service Lifecycle Stages to work together with development teams and safely release services into the live environment without the usual chaos and outages that take place with these activities. In Part 1, the framework shown below was presented along with key considerations that both IT development and IT operations need to consider. The framework allows both teams to work together in parallel to produce a live service solution together without the typical chaos, confusion, unplanned costs and outages that tend to take place far too many times when solutions are released into the live environment.

Fixing IT's Most Costly Mistake – Part 1

Billions of dollars get wasted every year for IT solutions that cannot be deployed and operated at acceptable cost and risk. Typically, 6 out of 10 new application systems never get deployed into production due to failure to consider or implement operational requirements. Many organizations concentrate on application development efforts leaving the operational aspects of the solution to be addressed later resulting in massive project delays, cost overruns, production outages and unplanned operating costs. At the same time, operations staffs need to understand how to integrate themselves into the development process asking the right questions and integrating support solutions at the right time such that operational support is built into new applications in parallel with the entire development cycle.
