Course Content

ITIL IT Service management lifecycle and objectives

This provides an overall framework and structure for the concepts to the presented in the course.

Service strategy

This provides guidance on how to design, develop and implement Service Management, not only as an organisational capability but also as a strategic asset. Service strategy is about ensuring that organisations are in a position to handle the costs and risks associated with the services they deliver. Decisions made with respect to Service Strategy have far-reaching consequences, including those with delayed effect.

Service design

This part provides guidance on how to design, develop services and Service Management processes. Service design covers design principles and methods for converting strategic objectives into portfolios of services and service assets. Service design guides organisations on how to develop design capabilities for service management.

Service transition

This section provides guidance on the transition of new and changed services into live operations. It provides information on managing the complexity related to changes – preventing undesired consequences while allowing for innovation.

Service operation

This part of the course provides guidance on achieving effectiveness and efficiency in the delivery and support of services to ensure value for money. Information is provided on maintaining stability, fixing problems, scheduling operations, controlling demand and optimising capacity utilisation while allowing for changes from both the reactive and proactive perspectives.

Continual service improvement

This provides instrumental guidance in creating and maintaining value for customers through better design, transition and operation of services. It combines principles, practices and methods from quality management, change management and capability improvement. Guidance is provided for linking improvement efforts and outcomes with service strategy, design, transition and operation.

Examination

The course concludes with a one-hour multiple choice examination paper. The examination is closed-book and contains 40 questions. Candidates must answer 26 questions (65%) correctly to secure a pass.
