Hank Marquis PhD FBCS CITP, author of Completely Satisfied: How to nail IT satisfaction for employee experience, productivity, and profits --- This book provides practical guidance on IT value streams, value stream mapping, and overcoming obstacles in achieving IT Service Management goals.

With its insightful approach, this book offers valuable tools for IT professionals. Its actionable advice and emphasis on real-world applications make it a go-to resource. Its comprehensive coverage ensures it will be a useful reference for repeated consultation. Highly recommended. Chris Evans MBCS, Service Management Lead, Fujitsu Services Ltd --- Value streams are a critical yet often unrecognized topic for the realisation of value through IT. There is a rapidly increasing recognition of the importance of focusing on value streams that makes this book both a valuable and timely resource for IT managers. ITSM Value Streams offers a deep-dive into the topic written by industry-recognised authors and subject-matter experts. However, far from being a theoretical treatise, it contains numerous practical techniques, profusely illustrated with case studies that will allow the reader to understand and deploy value stream thinking to beneficial effect within their organisations. John Sansbury, Service Management Guru and ITSM Author, Infrassistance Development Ltd --- This book is a great add to any service management professional's bookshelf. Not only does it discuss the concepts and considerations for application of value stream mapping as part of service management, but it also provides practical advice and guidance for using a value stream approach to service management. The use of value stream mapping helps service managers take a holistic approach (not just a technology-based or IT-centric view) to service management - a key for success!
