The purpose of the service request management practice is to support the agreed quality of service by handling all pre-defined, user-initiated service requests in an effective and user-friendly manner.
Service Request Management is a process that manages the lifecycle of service requests. This practice allows users to send service requests to the agents and see status updates on them. It provides users with automated workflows and a transparent service delivery process.
The majority of service requests have low risk and priority (e.g., software installation, granting/revoking access), that is the reason they are distinguished as a separate process from the Incident Management and Change Enablement practices.
