itSMF 2021 Global Survey
Dear service management professional,

The aim for this global survey, in line with previous ones, is to be able to assess the state of service management, including the deployment and usage of different frameworks, and expectations regarding future implementations.

This survey is open to all service management professionals. We appreciate your help in filling up this survey, it shouldn’t take you more than 12 to 15 minutes to complete it.

The results will be shared among the global itSMF community.

Respondents, who are consultants, can do multiple submissions (one for each of their client organisations). The deadline for the survey is 31 Dec 2021.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Kind regards,
