Understanding what to measure and why it is being measured are key contributors to which part of the Service Lifecycle?

Service Strategy focuses on defining market space, service portfolios, and value propositions, not on establishing measurement frameworks.

CSI is built around the principle of measurement-driven improvement. The 7-step CSI improvement process explicitly begins with defining what you should measure and why, ensuring that improvement initiatives are aligned to business value and service goals. Without this foundation, metrics collected are meaningless and cannot drive actionable change.

Service Operation focuses on executing day-to-day operational activities to deliver agreed service levels, not on determining what and why to measure.

Service Design focuses on designing services, processes, and architectures to meet business requirements, not on measurement strategy or improvement rationale.
