What is Service Process Architecture? Why do you need it?

Author: Tom Smyth Created: 08/12/2013 Category: ‍ ITIL

Service Process Architecture is the architecture framework for all service level processes. Its objective is to identify and understand each process and its relationship with other processes. It also must define tools that will directly and indirectly support the processes.

The overall objective is to deliver services effectively and efficiently, and a Service Process Architecture will deliver a comprehensive blueprint for its constituent processes that is tightly linked with your business objectives, strategies and plans.

If you are implementing an ITIL framework you should consider developing a Service Process Architecture for all ITIL processes. This is a great way to communicate the “big picture” of the ITIL implementation to your management and staff. In particular it assists to develop an integrated tools strategy to ensure that investments in tools are not made in an ad-hoc fashion as each function of ITIL is implemented.

Here are examples of two ITIL process mapped into an ITIL Service Process Architecture.
