What is an IT service management template?

Designed specifically for IT teams, this template facilitates high-velocity service management. Containing powerful ITSM categories with dedicated features, it can help you resolve incidents, approve changes, and fix problems fast.

What does the IT service management template include?

Alerts and on call schedules

Jira Service Management centralizes, filters, and enriches alerts across all your monitoring, logging, and CI/CD tools to ensure your teams respond to issues quickly while avoiding alert fatigue. Teams can automatically combine related alerts, and add attachments, notes, and links to maximize available information about incidents. And with customizable oncall schedules, routing rules, and escalation policies, teams can handle alerts differently based on their source and urgency.

Automated change requests

With deployment tracking in Jira Service Management, teams can automatically create change requests when deployments are initiated to selected services, providing automated and accelerated approvals, along with seamless insight for incident responders. And with the change calendar, teams have a full picture of past and future changes that could potentially be the cause of an incident.

Assets

Assets in Jira Service Management helps you anticipate the downstream impact of changes, so your dev and ops teams can manage risk for more frequent, seamless deployments. When incidents do occur, Assets lets you quickly view the dependencies between configuration items or assets and services to resolve incidents and uncover the root cause of problems.

Multi-channel support

Jira Service Management empowers customers to report incidents across multiple channels, providing a single source of truth for incident managers. Using the service catalog or portal, customers have access to streamlined forms that route incidents directly to the teams that support them. And with Jira Service Management Chat, customers can submit incidents and get status updates directly from Slack or Microsoft Teams.
