As the implementation plan progressed, the appointed ITIL implementation
coordinator and consultancy team reached to a stage where the IT processes needed
to be tailored to have them adhere to ITIL-V2 standards. That was when the
implementation team realized that no clearly defined processes exist and no
documentation was available on any of the processes. Consequently, the project
coordinator decided to start a reengineering initiative with the help of the internal IT quality officer in which they made two major mistakes. The first mistake was that they
have not sorted out all of the available processes nor did they prioritize their need
for reengineering. Instead they went ahead reengineering every possible process.
The second mistake was lack of communication and involvement from those who work
on these processes. None of them were involved during the reengineering phase and
were not even consulted by the ITIL team. As a result, the reengineering initiative took
a lot of time and effort leading to a further delay in ITIL implementation.
