What NOT to do
1. Insufficient Management Budget.
2. Ignoring the need to market and communicate within & outside IT.
3. Thinking that technology alone can address the requirement for ITIL i.e. migrating bad process to new technology so automation is therefore not efficient enough to address IT needs.
4. Not dedicating enough resources to the development effort.
5. Thinking process development equates to process implementation.
6. Weak documentation effort leads to inconsistent approach with very little chance of repeatability amongst IT Staff.
