Time study is a direct and continuous observation of a task, using a timekeeping device (e.g., decimal minute stopwatch, computer-assisted electronic stopwatch, and videotape camera) to record the time taken to accomplish a task and it is often used when:
•there are repetitive work cycles of short to long duration,•wide variety of dissimilar work is performed, or•process control elements constitute a part of the cycle.
•We open change records as a task of Risk Management•We open incident records to enhance the customer experience•We open problem records to drive root cause analysis and improve our service support and delivery•New capabilities with release tied to changes

Following is the procedure developed by Mikell Groover for a direct time study:
1.Define and document the standard method.
2.Divide the task into work elements. Time the work elements to obtain the observed time for the task.
3.Evaluate the worker’s pace relative to standard performance (performance rating), to determine the normal time. Apply an allowance to the normal time to compute the standard time. The allowance factors that are needed in the work are then added to compute the standard time for the task.

Following is the procedure developed for an ITSM direct time study:
1.Define and document a repeatable script per process
2.Divide the script into phases, states or activities of the process.
3.Time the work elements to obtain the observed time for the task.
4.Evaluate the worker’s pace relative to standard performance (performance rating), to determine the normal time. Apply an allowance to the normal time to compute the standard time. The allowance factors that are needed in the work are then added to compute the standard time for the task.
5.Factor in volume for the tasks
6.Identify and notate observations, and new capabilities

What does Time and Motion mean to an ITSM program?
1.After a major ITSM Tool migration, how will you know if you were successful?
2.Are all processes equal in improvements?
3.Have you modified the tool and reduced efficiencies?
4.How have you impacted your end users in a positive or negative way?
5.Is the tool performing as expected?

Define what you should measure
Ensure new tools perform as well or better than the current
Lifecycle comparisons, activity name changes, end to end

Activities Considerations
Recorded process execution in the current tool
Validated measures with UAT of new system and adjusted
The target: clicks, volumetrics and capabilities
Process consultants had improvement lists
Noted what would be changing
Worked on presentation categories

Format takes time
•Time spent using the tool, multiplied by the number of records per organization, can indicate where efficiencies are gained or lost in comparison.

• Example
New tool Q2 Capabilities New tool Q1 Familiarity with using New tool
is reflected in shorter usage times.
Impacted Business Applications are now auto-populated, reducing time necessary in the tool.
Planned Service Outage time can be reported from change records.
CAB Review average hh:mm minutes per change record (avg. ## records per CAB Meeting) or h:mm hours average CAB meeting
• New Tool Tasks may be used similarly but will not counted as production changes
• New Tool associates records directly to the appropriate change
• New Tool capability allows change record template management distributed through Change Managers
• Leadership approvals in New Tool will be logged
• CAB Review average H:MM minutes per change record (avg. ## records per CAB Meeting) or H:MM hours average CAB meeting

• Summary / Questions?
Summary/Questions
Implement T&M and process improvement- conduct each release
Time and motion first focuses on process- time ‘to do’ processes
Need to look at the cross process integration- how quick can I associate records and tell the story
Business result performance and leadership behaviors
22
Summary/Questions
Metrics that Matter- Executive level; Operational view; Management level of the process;
Drive key observations and behavior changes
Ensure you have good base metrics- in fact a lot of metrics for your baseline;
The effort is relevant and worth the time to help make leadership decisions
