What’s New in ITIL 4? – Techbytes

ITIL Framework and Processes

ITIL® is the industry best practice for IT Service Management. It has been in place since the mid-’80s to provide guidance to IT organizations on how to manage IT services throughout their lifecycle to continually deliver value to clients.

With the release of ITIL4,  the global service management best practice has evolved to incorporate all the best practices from previous versions and has expanded on this body of knowledge by providing a practical and flexible approach to support organizations on their journey to the new world of digital transformation.

This latest version of ITIL provides an end-to-end operating model for the delivery and operation of tech-enabled products and services and enables IT, teams, to continue to play a crucial role in wider business strategy. This revision also integrates concepts from other industry best practices such as Lean, Agile, and DevOps.

Our Supplement

The new edition of ITIL4 is the first major update to ITIL since 2007 and is arguably a response to the emergence of newer service management frameworks such as VeriSM, SIAM, and FitSM. It expands the previous version of ITIL V3 (‘ITIL 2011’) and provides a flexible basis to support organizations on their journey to the new world of digital transformation. ITIL4 describes an operating model for the delivery of tech-enabled products and services. The documentation has been completely revised and streamlined to make it easier to read, and enhanced with many practical examples. ITIL4 also reflects recent trends in software development and IT operations and includes advice on how to apply philosophies such as Agile, DevOps, and Lean in the domain of service management.  These are essential new ways of applying and looking at ITIL
organizations.
