Scope for Capacity Management

Hi All,

I am ITIL V3 certified working for Capaicty Management from the last 10 months. In total I have 4 years of IT Expereience.

Before working for Capacity Managemnt I was working on Network Monitoring tool.

I want to know if there is scope for ITIL consultants woking for Capacity Management because I have never seen opening for Cpacity Management whereas I had seen many openings for Incident,Problem,Change Management which makes me a bit worried about my future in this field.

Regards,
Ash85

Hi Ash,

Welcome to the Forums, this is not a job consulting website you can find some statistics online just google it. Also yes some companies out there are looking for that position. So Capacity management didn't come to an end yet.

Kind regards,

A

I can say that Cap Mgmt roles are rare

Usually they get made because of a need

Usually network or telco centric

I worked for a one of my clients and in addition to doing CHange, I got volunteered for Capacity

It fit into the role I was doing for change so i actually enjoyed it

Hi

I will be implementing Capacity Management for one of our new clients.

Hoping to learn new things from this experience and hopefully I may even get opportunity in some other company.

Naaah, learning on clients cost is not fair.
It's an approach like this that makes life for me as consultant so hard ... Fixing others "hey customer, i've learned a lot and you paid" issues is very hard as customers are often confused after these experiences.
I (freelance) don't like this!

Tomkin,
You mean quality and value vs. quantity and costs?

Ash

I used the V2 chapter on Capacity Mgmt as my baseline and worked from there

I had to write policy, process, procedure and workflow documentation on the fly

The most usefull tool other than word processing was presentation s/w like PowerPoint
