Certificate in IT Management Processes (CITMP)|Online

Overview

Why Attend

The omnipresence of information technology (IT) across an organization creates a scenario where an organization’s success depends on IT success. Consequently, if IT is fragile then so is the organization and its business.

Very often we hear about failed IT projects, major cyber incidents, and rising costs of IT. Other times we hear about outsourcing issues, difficulties complying with regulations or repeated audit findings. Common among these issues is that someone, somewhere, left something to chance.

This course gives participants the knowledge to manage IT processes in a robust manner, to seek out hidden problems and to prevent these problems from erupting at the most unexpected moment. This course provides participants the insight required to strengthen IT, which in turn strengthens the organization.

Course Methodology

This course will be highly interactive with group discussions, case studies, hands-on practical exercises, and group activities being the core focus.

Identify IT management processes required by their organization and align these to business objectives
Apply best practices for defining common IT processes
Apply management system components to build or improve an IT management process
