I understand that ITIL and PPDIOO are both frustrating to work with at times. But they do offer a way to organize very large roll outs and very large projects. For the most part I would prefer to not have to use ITIL or PPDIOO. However recently I’ve been involved with a tremendous global network implementation involving 65 offices in over 23 countries. With a project of this scale having some guidelines to work by is extremely helpful. If I had a choice I prefer PPDIOO over ITIL. It is Cisco’s standard and much more granular.
