ITIL® 2011 Foundation For Service Management (BPI)

ITIL® V3 is written with a broader context and scope of thinking for best practices. The five books contain much of the ITIL® V2 process information; however, they have a new structure and approach. The input for the books, reviews and changes comes from a collective global community of IT Service Management professionals and stakeholders during a three-year period. The development incorporates thinking across the content of the eight V2 books and not just the IT Service Support and Delivery set as was common during the past few years.

The new approach is termed the ‘lifecycle’ approach, much the same as an IT service in reality. There is also greater guidance provided on how to demonstrate value to the business, putting together return on investment (ROI) statements and case studies.

The purpose of the ITIL® Foundation certificate in IT Service Management is to obtain knowledge of the ITIL® terminology, structure and basic concepts and to comprehend the core principles of ITIL® practices for Service Management.
