Master's Thesis concerning ITIL

[neleb]

Hello everyone,

I have just finished studying and the last part I have to do is to write a Master's Thesis. I would like to write something concerning ITIL (I'm a newbee in this area but interested in it) and perhaps Open Source/ SMC.

Due to the fact that I don't have any experience with ITIL or deeper knowledge, I just wanted to ask if anybody has an idea, impulse or direction about what I could write (unfortunately, there is no real support by my professor).

Thanks a lot!!!

Neleb,
You are taking on a difficult challenge. To go from having no deep knowledge of ITIL to producing a Masters thesis in a few months seems to me to be a mammoth undertaking, particularly as you are unlikely to gain any practical experience.
Your first step really has to be to develop a thorough understanding of the subject; this website provides plenty of clues as to where to look. Then, to find an area where you think you may be able to make a positive contribution, read and reply to the blogs and websites containing debate between such highly respected commentators as Ian Clayton, Charles T. Betz et al. If you can produce a paper that catches the attention of these experts then I would certainly like to read it.
Good Luck

Hello Neleb,

I'm on the same, exactly the same, situation you are. Writing my master theasis, with no support from my teacher (1/2 my guilty because I dont make pressure...) etc....

I start to identify one problem on my organization: Helpdesk. Then I decided to make my theasis based on Incident Management & Service Desk. I am developing an app to manage incidents according to ITIL best practices, but its not easey. I suggest you DO NOT focus on all aspects of ITIL, because thats not the goal of a master theasis. IDENTIFY A PROBLEM AND PROPOSE A SOLUTION BASED ON ITIL.

Any ideas, please, share them. This way, maybe You and I finishes our theasis with great success
