Hi Folks,
I have just recently joined up to the forum, reading through their seem to be some very knowledgable people here.
Basically I lead/manage an outsourced service desk team handling a mix of government and private sector accounts.
My question is when calculating agents individual FTF/FLF rates, should only incidents within contractual obligation (to be fixed at the service desk) be measured or should it be measured on all incidents they have logged? It is probably not really an ITIL related question, but would be interested in peoples experience and feedback.
Thanks
Michael

Michael,
welcome to our humble forum.
Your question is an easy one. The answer is - it depends!
The other answer is - both!
It entirely depends on what you are using the information for and both pieces of information have potential uses. _________________ "Method goes far to prevent trouble in business: for it makes the task easy, hinders confusion, saves abundance of time, and instructs those that have business depending, both what to do and what to hope."

Hi,
To your question, it is obviously clear that for FTF/FLF, the measurement would be on number of incidents fixed at the service desk. That is for one KPI.
Number of all incidents recorded (whether they are fixed at Service Desk or not) can also be measured for another KPI.
The term "it depends" would make it up to you, what measurements will suit your performance indicators.
One thing that bothers me is that why do you want to measure performance of SD agents by FTF/FLF? What if in one reporting period there is no FTF/FLF? Would it mean the agents fail and lose bonus? OMG

cheers guys, got the exact same answer from senior management as well!!
If your senior management don't know for what purpose you want the information, then one has to consider whether you want at all. _________________ "Method goes far to prevent trouble in business: for it makes the task easy, hinders confusion, saves abundance of time, and instructs those that have business depending, both what to do and what to hope."
