ISO/IEC TR 20000-17:2024 — Information technology — Service management — Part 17: Scenarios for the practical application of service management systems based on ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018. This technical report provides scenario-based explanations and examples to help organizations apply the requirements of ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018 in real-world service management situations.

Abstract

This technical report presents scenarios, explanations and examples for the practical application of service management systems (SMS) based on ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018. It is intended to be used alongside ISO/IEC 20000-1 and other parts of the 20000 series (for example ISO/IEC 20000-2 and ISO/IEC 20000-3) to illustrate how SMS requirements can be implemented; it does not change requirements and is not intended for conformity assessment.

Scope

The report provides practical, scenario-driven guidance illustrating how the requirements of ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018 can be applied in a variety of service management contexts. It is aimed at organizations planning to implement or already operating an SMS, and at consultants, trainers and other experts who support them. The document is explanatory and illustrative only — it does not introduce new normative requirements and is not intended as a certification or conformity-assessment document.

Key topics and requirements

• Scenario-based examples showing application of ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018 requirements in typical service management situations.
• Explanations linking SMS requirements (planning, design, transition, delivery, improvement) to operational practices.
• Guidance on how to interpret and apply ISO/IEC 20000-1 clauses without altering their normative intent.
• Cross-references to related guidance in the ISO/IEC 20000 series (for combined use with ISO/IEC 20000-2, -3 and other parts).
• Intended audience notes (implementers, service teams, consultants, trainers — not a tool for certification decisions).

Typical use and users

Primary users are organizations implementing or operating service management systems (internal IT teams, external service providers), consultants and trainers who need practical examples to support SMS implementation, and practitioners seeking worked scenarios to translate ISO/IEC 20000-1 requirements into operational controls and processes. Because this is a technical report intended for guidance, it is not intended as the sole basis for certification or conformity assessment.

Related standards

Directly related documents include ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018 (Service management system requirements), ISO/IEC 20000-2 (guidance on application of SMS), ISO/IEC 20000-3 and other parts of the ISO/IEC 20000 family; this TR is explicitly designed to be used with those parts for practical implementation guidance. See the ISO/IEC 20000 series for additional complementary guidance (and newer parts such as guidance on sustainability and other TS/TR documents).
