Introduction

In a nutshell, service design can be explained as the ‘prototype builder’ or a blueprint of the IT services shortlisted through service strategy and devised in the service catalog. However, the job of service design does not get end here. IT services need constant transitioning and changes to make sure that they maintain their relevance in the long run. In such situations, service design aids IT providers in designing upgrades and improvements in older IT services used by customers.
