ITIL 4 Practices
ITIL v3 gave us 26 processes which were arranged into five process areas: service strategy, service design, service transition, service operations, continual service improvement. The ITIL 4 practices expand on these, bringing in other elements such as culture, technology, information and data management, and more.

The ITIL 4 Practices are a holistic set of organizational resources designed for performing work or accomplishing an objective. The new ITIL 4 Service Value System (SVS) introduces 34 practices and the ITIL 4 framework reinforces a flexible and non-siloed approach.
The practices covered in Create Deliver and Support are change enablement, deployment management, incident management, knowledge management, monitoring and event management, problem management, release management, service design, service desk, service level management, service validation and testing, software development and management.
