5 out of 5 stars: Practical Approach By Nicholas Lyall
"I was recently assigned the project manager role to implement a configuration management system for a Fortune 500 information technology department. While I had experience implementing configuration management systems from a CMM/CMMI perspective, I had never implemented one based on ITIL.
The CMDB Toolkit provided the framework for me to: plan the project, orient my team on the approach we would be taking, and provide reference material for the team. Members of my team have decided to purchase the Kit based on the invaluable content. The table of contents is well defined so as to allow you to go to the section you need quickly.
I have been involved in over a dozen process improvement efforts and have never found a resource so well designed to assist in implementation. Too often the material I have read have been more theory than practical application. I find myself looking at some section of the Toolkit every day."
