ITIL Version
3
The upgrade
of ITIL from version 2 (2000) to version 3 (2007) included
some intensive changes. The change of focus, from an operationally
focused set of processes to a mature set of service management
practice guidance, necessitated a number of core changes.
One of
the most visible changes was the subtle change of name: from
"The IT Infrastructure Library" to "ITIL Service Management
Practices". This itself reflected ITIL's evolution, implying
a broader scope. Indeed, the whole approach to version 3 is
more holistic, value based and business focused.
The entire set
of volumes was re-organized and re-published to support this
new vision (a 'service lifecycle format'). ITIL now consists
of the following:
These are supported
by complementary titles, addressing the application of the
generic core guidelines in specific markets/technological
contexts.
Conceptually,
the core guides above revolve around the ITIL
'Service Lifecycle'. This lifecycle is intended
to be a logical flow from Strategy, through Design, Transition,
Operation and Service Improvement, supporting feedback through
all areas of the lifecycle.
