ITIL is nothing but a framework of IT service management to provide IT services needed for a business. This can help any organization to set a base line for their business and plan according to their project strategies. Where as on the other hand, COBIT 5 is a methodology used to integrate business goals to IT goals. This helps in assigning duties to both business and IT services by monitoring and improving the business. The first stage of the introduction of COBIT will be to plan for partners to accomplish, identify and set out the targets. There are targets to specifically resolve the issues at hand and help determine when IT protocols would be required. The ITIL mechanism is located exclusively inside the IT division, unlike COBIT, which needs input from donors, and other administrators.

CLASS WORK: Considering the NET603 Travel Agency topic as an instance: Migrating local Servers to the cloud.

1. STAKEHOLDER ANALYSIS: In my opinion, get a picture about the entire project plan and ready to present it to the company’s main stakeholders – CEO, Senior IT engineer, Manager. As a Project manager, a PPT presentation about the whole framework of the cloud migration along with the scope, timeframe, risks and future achievements.
2. TEAM IMPLEMENTATION: Being a PM in this small firm, I wont recommend too many staff to work with this migration. It only requires two staff – Cloud migration specialist and a Network engineer. The Senior IT engineer will provide them with enough resources and brief about the project. And finally as a PM, I will review the project and communicate with the stakeholder with the updates.
3. COMMUNICATE DESIRED VISION: The Senior IT engineer should communicate the vision of the cloud migration project with the team assigned to it. This will help the team to take the project to success by realizing the importance of this change. This includes – Future benefits, impact of not doing it now, road map and stakeholder involvement.
4. EMPOWER ROLE PLAYERS: Give the team a good knowledge about what they doing and the intensity of it. Providing – proper training, frequent updates to the Senior IT engineer about the project roadmaps, prepare a scheduled meeting with the stakeholder briefing about the development. Moreover, I will try to give some incentives to the the staff worked behind this as an appreciation to the staff worked for it.
5. KEEP A TRACK & SUSTAIN CHANGES: Record all updates and keep a track on each milestones as it should be reserved for the future implementation. I will use some Project management tools like Scoro for team collaboration, Shared team calendar & meeting scheduling. This helps to get feedbacks and spot down the errors and bugs while migrating and as well as for adopting new ideas.
