managers leverage I TIL to drive supportable (and successful!) solutions\nSo many projects revolve around introducing, leveraging or upgrading  technology solu tions.  While frameworks like PMBoK and methodologies such as Agile d rive the definition and development of solutions, those solutions are ultimately turned over to ongoing operations. \nThe smoothness of tha t transition and effective handling of support are key factors in dete rmining whether a project is deemed successful. \nTechnology Operatio ns rely heavily on the ITIL framework to operate and maintain technolo gy effectively. \n \nIn this session, we will give a high-level over view of ITIL and how it is used across many organizations.  We’ll t hen identify the intersection points that project managers can leverag e to ensure that their projects transition successfully into operation s, freeing project teams from being mired in support issues and user c omplaints.\n \nElizabeth Martens, Director of Client Services at PPT Consultants will share her experiences and views in this fascinating l ook at finding common ground.\nProviding People, Process & Technology Solutions –
