Overview

ITIL Service Lifecycle consists of five phases:

  • Service Strategy
  • Service Design
  • Service Transition
  • Service Operation
  • Continual Service Improvement

ITIL v3 Lifecycle training covers the management and control of activities and techniques within the respective phase of the Lifecycle.

The Service Strategy phase is the axis upon which the other stages of the ITIL lifecycle are based. It is during this stage that the high level strategic, investment and business value(s) of each service is considered and weighed against other existing and proposed services. Based on the Service Strategy publication of the ITIL v3 library, this course focuses on the planning, implementing and optimizing of Service Strategy concepts and processes. The use of in-course case studies and live exercises enables active learning by encouraging the participants to:

  • Discuss and understand pure ITIL concepts
  • Apply concepts to a “neutral” real world situation
  • Learn different perspectives
  • Reinforce examinable concepts

The course is followed by the ITIL v3 Intermediate Service Strategy certification exam.
