IT resource performance management

IT RPM, or IT resource performance management, is a concept employed within the discipline of IT service management. In practice, it is a combination of technologies and processes which combine social collaboration, mobility tools and gamification in order to provide higher quality support in a service desk environment. It is typically under-pinned by best practices like ITIL, COBIT or Lean Six Sigma for Service Management.
