Project Background and Scope
Project Background and Scope
Background
 MorganThomas was engaged by the City of Edmonton’s Open
City and Technology Branch to facilitate, manage, support and
deliver a comprehensive definition of the CoE’s technology
services and create an actionable technology service
catalogue design.

 MT worked with the City of Edmonton Open City and

Technology (OCT) personnel to define, document and agree
in-scope OCT Branch services and will produce detailed
documentation enabling the implementation of a full
technology Service Catalogue.

 This document represents the deliverable for the Discovery

phase of the project, and serves as a summary of findings that
will be used to develop Service Design Documentation. Once
documentation is created, focus will shift to creating actionable
plans to transition the City of Edmonton to the future state.

 Project Background and Scope
Scope
The overall development approach is segmented into four key phases:
1. Mobilize – Focused on engagement parameters and setting deliverable expectations

2. Discovery – Focused on current state assessment and defining the future state services.

3. Build– Focus on creating service design documentation that will allow for implementation into the service catalogue.

4. Prepare for Transition – Focused on OCM activities that will allow the City of Edmonton to maintain their service
catalogue into the future.

Service Catalogue Overview
Service Catalogue Overview
Introduction
The IT Service Catalogue is a single source that identifies the technical capabilities provided to the City of Edmonton (CoE) by
Information Technologies (IT). It also defines and categorizes the supporting activities and efforts that IT teams execute and
provision to directly enable and support Business Services. In order to encompass all aspects of service delivery, the document
also identifies any specific external or third-party support used to provision these services (Underpinning Contracts).

This document represents the initial assessment of the CoE’s service catalogue, and will be used to complete the full future state
document. The following pages include an end-to-end assessment of existing service catalogue definitions, ITSM toolsets,
Service Agreement structure and overall management of each service entry. This document will provide an important base to
ensure easy alignment to develop a service costing model that can accurately reflect the total cost to deliver services (people,
process and technology). The correlation of technical services and supporting services will be crucial in developing a service
agreement approach that can easily be adopted from this document.

Service Catalogue Overview
Business, Technical, and Supporting Services
The Service Request Catalogue provides access to tangible items or services from IT. These services typically include assets or components that our
community can directly interface with (mobile devices, laptops, applications etc.). The audience for this view is essentially any person within the
institution that is appropriately approved or eligible.

The following is a simple visual of the relationship of the IT Services and components. Business Services will always have a relationship to more than
one supporting service.

The following terms and definitions are meant to provide clarity for the ‘Information Technologies’ Service Catalogue and the service entries:

The table to the right identifies the 29
work order templates that are used to
record 81% of all work orders.
Note that 7 of the 29 WO templates
were assigned to greater than 10
assignment groups for fulfillment.
These may be indicative of a need for
further refinement of WO templates.

Criteria for Actionable Work Orders
Criteria for Actionable Work Orders
Overview
In order to identify work orders that will provide the greatest efficiency gain if added to a self-service portal, work
orders are to be evaluated further against the below criteria.

Work Order Frequency

01 WO’s that are consistently and constantly requested. This will ensure that any idiosyncratic events that raise
frequency for short periods of time are taken into account when analyzing volume.

Volume
02 WO’s with the greatest number of requests.

Workflow Complexity
03 Once an initial shortlist is created from the above two criteria, the list will be further refined by assessing
workflow complexity, which includes the number of tasks and approvals required to fulfill the request.

SLA’s understood
04 An assessment of each WO’s SLA’s will be conducted, and those with defined SLA’s will be added to the
service portal first. This further enhances the CoE’s ability to meet it’s targets.
