the iit industry by this he means that
instead of taking each of the components
in the iit industry separately how can
he take them as a whole or how can we
see it as a whole that's when john says
that earlier it was difficult but now it

managing services now the main goal of
itil is to improve efficiency and

service delivery itil's second version

lv1 to v4 now lets talk about the first
version of itil ideal v1 talks about
processes that are involved in service
support such as help desk management
change management and software
distribution organizations and
government agencies around the world
began adopting the framework in the
early 90s to improve their i.t services
and delivery capabilities the first
version consists of four major concepts
availability management capacity
management contingency management and
cost management first let's talk about
availability management we all know that
in an organization there are several it
services these could include
infrastructure processes roles and much
more now availability management ensures
that these are available based on the
business requirement next we have
capacity management now if there are any
performance based issues be it in
services or resources it's handled by
capacity management next we have
contingency management now with this
you're able to identify vulnerabilities
and make sure that such incidents don't
happen again and finally we have cost
management with this you're able to
deliver as well as manage cost effective
id assets and resources next up let's
have a look at the second version of it
il itil v2 now this version of itl was
published in the year 2001. it focused
on the removal of duplicate entries
helped improve the consistency of topics
and inclusion of new it concepts some of
the topics that were covered in itil v2
where problem management release
management incident management and much
more ideal v2 consists of two major
concepts the first one is service
support with this your delivered
processes so that you can control
service interruptions now let's talk
about service delivery now this provides
a set of principles policies as well as
constraints which can be utilized for
designing building and deploying
services that are delivered by service
providers now one thing you should keep
in mind is that the second version of
itl did not have an organized service
life cycle unlike the version 3 that
we're going to talk about very soon like
i said now let's talk about version 3 of
it il now this version of itil was
published in 2007. it adopted more of a
life cycle approach to service
management with a greater emphasis on it
business integration now this is another
upgrade and consists of 26 processes and
functions now this version consists of
five major sections let's have a look at
each of these sections firstly we have
service strategy service design service
transition service operations and
continual service improvement first off
let's have a look at service strategy
now this is the process where you
understand what the client's
requirements are what does the client
want from your business secondly we have
service design now this aims so that you
can design it services in an effective
as well as efficient manner in the third
step we have service transition with
this you can plan build test and deploy
the services into the customers
environments our fourth step involves
service operations now this maintains
this ensures that access to it services
is only given to authorized users and
the issue of service failure is
minimized and finally we have continual
service improvement now this makes sure
that the it services are always aligned
to the business's needs now let's have a
look at the 2011 update of itil version
3. now this edition of itl is an
improvement over the previous edition it
aimed to resolve the mistakes as well as
inconsistencies in the text and diagrams
across the suite now this version
underwent a lot of redesigning and use
of a larger font intended to make itil a
little more approachable to the reader
this version majorly highlights the
service strategy volume now this version
as i said before doesn't have a lot of
changes but has a few important updates
firstly let's have a look at service
strategy now in this version a new
service called service strategy manager
was introduced this was for people who
created as well as implemented i.t
strategies that aligned with the
business requirements secondly we have
service design now this implemented
technical standards to the service
design process as well as coordinated
all the activities across all designs
next we have service transition so this
basically introduced something known as
effective change management which
minimized the chances of service failure
now for the fourth major concept we have
service operations now the latest update
of service operation provides as well as
maintains the processes for effective as
well as efficient handling of service
requests and finally we have continual
service improvement now with a clear and
concise seven step model you're
introduced to the improvement process
now these seven steps are identifying
the strategy for improvement defining
what exactly you will measure gathering
the data processing the data analyzing
this information presenting and using
the information and implementing
improvement and now where is the current
version of itil ital v4 now the main
goal of itil v4 is to help all
organizations deliver it services using
the most effective methods now itil can
be utilized with a number of different
frameworks such as agile lean and devops
now itil4 consists of two major
components the four dimensions model and
the itil service value system now let's
have a look at the four dimensions model
firstly we have organizations and people
so people in the organization need to
understand what their roles and
responsibilities are they need to have a
clear understanding of how their role
adds value to the organization then we
have information and technology this
includes information knowledge
techniques and technologies that are
required for service management next we
have partners and suppliers so this
basically sets up contracts and other
agreements between the organization and
their partners so here there's a focus
on the organization's relationship with
businesses like the ones that are
involved in design deployment delivery
support and the continual improvement of
services and finally we have value
streams and processes now a value stream
is basically a series of steps that an
organization follows so that they can
create as well as deliver products or
services to a consumer now a
well-defined process can greatly improve
productivity within or across
organizations so it's very important
that an organization address all of
these four different dimensions to
ensure that high service quality is
maintained now let's have a look at the
service value system now this is a set
of activities that are performed by an
organization so that they deliver a
valuable output to the end users or
consumers now the svs includes elements
such as guiding principles governance
service value chain continual
improvement and practices so first let's
have a look at guiding principles now
these are a set of principles that help
in providing a comprehensive
understanding or a series of steps of
how an organization should manage a
service secondly we have governance now
this is responsible for controlling as
well as monitoring the organization it
can adapt to the guiding principles or
it can define its own set of principles
next we have service value chain now
this is a set of activities that the
business performs so that they can
provide a valuable product or service to
its consumers now we have continual
improvement now this ensures that it
services are continuously aligned to the
customer's expectations and finally we
have management practices these are 34
management practices that are designed
so that an organization is able to
achieve its goals now these practices
are divided into three major categories
firstly we have general management
practices service management practices
and technical management practices now
let's talk about itil certifications now
it's not only necessary that you learn
about itil it's very important that you
get certified in it now itil has its own
certifications firstly we have the
foundation certification which is an
entry level certification it includes
all the concepts of itr service
lifecycle and service management
practices after which you can take the
next level exam which is the
practitioner certification now this is a
higher level examination which aims to
increase the ability of the individual
who's writing the test to adopt and
adapt itil to their organization then we
have the intermediate certification
which helps an individual understand how
to manage and coordinate the itl
practice areas now one thing you should
note is that if you are preparing for
the certification you need to have a
minimum of two years of experience in it
service management next up we have the
expert level certification which covers
the depth of itr processes and practices
across all idle disciplines and now for
the final level which is the master
level certification now here an
individual is able to explain advanced
methods of itl techniques and management
practices now to achieve this
certification you need to have a minimum
of two years of experience in the it
service management and with that we've
reached the end of this session i hope
