The requirements for the ISO/IEC 20000-1 international standard include the design, transition, delivery and improvement of services that fulfill service requirements and provide value for both the customer and the service provider. Using the Plan, Do, Check, Act approach, the international standard requires an integrated approach for establishing, implementing, operating and improving a service management system (SMS).
