The path to ISO/IEC 20000-1

Six steps from first conversation to ISO/IEC 20000-1. AMS and our consultants handle each one with you.

  1. 1Scope

    Define which sites, teams, processes and systems ISO/IEC 20000-1 will cover.

  2. 2Gap assessment

    Compare what you do today with every ISO/IEC 20000-1 requirement and list what is missing.

  3. 3Documents

    Write the policies, procedures and records ISO/IEC 20000-1 expects, starting with the service management policy.

  4. 4Implement and collect evidence

    Put the processes into daily work and capture proof that they run, on a schedule.

  5. 5Internal review

    Check readiness with an internal audit or self-assessment, and close the findings.

  6. 6Certification audit

    An accredited certification body runs a stage 1 document review and a stage 2 audit, then issues the certificate. Surveillance audits follow every year.
