ISO 20000 Revision latest

An itSMF USA webinar by the Destination ISO/IEC 20000 SIG in June 2010 stated that the earliest the revised ISO 20000 standard (Parts 1) will be issued is Nov 2010 but is more likely to be Q1 2011.

ISO 20000 Part 5 Published

ISO has published (June 2010) a technical report ISO TR 20000-5:2010 Exemplar implementation plan for ISO/IEC 20000-1.  It is a 31 page document that provides guidance on activities that begin with start up and business case development that lead into a 3 phase plan for implementation. It contains 13 pages of tables in annexes that cover all activities with responsible roles being listed. We'd suggest also using the Van Haren book "ISO 20000: An Implementation Roadmap". Why?  Because it has about 6 real-world case studies, too. Buy ISO 20000-5 from BSI shop or your favourite ISO vendor.

ISO 20000 Part 3 Published

The "Guidance on scope definition and applicability" was publshed in Nov 2009. An outline of the content and option to buy online is here on ISO website.

Planned revision of ISO 20000

ISO 20000 is currently being revised. In addition to the existing parts 1 and 2 there will also be parts 3, 4 and 5. Part 3 will cover Scoping and Part 4 is the process reference model (PRM) and will be the basis of a new procss assessment model (PAM)
Part 5 will be a generic implementation plan for ISO 20000-1. Nothing is expected until Part 3 in late 2009. View an update here from the convenor, Jenny Dugmore, on her ITP Blog (Sep 2009)
