ITIL Practices overview
What is currently known in ITIL v3 as “processes” are being expanded to consider other elements such as culture, technology, information and data management, and more. This holistic vision of a way of working is known as a “practice” in ITIL 4, and forms a fundamental part of the ITIL 4 framework.
The ITIL Practices are a set of organizational resources designed for performing work or accomplishing an objective. The ITIL Service Value System includes 34 practices all of which are subject to the four dimensions of service management. The ITIL 4 framework will reinforce a flexible and non-siloed approach for the application of ITIL practices. A high-level overview of each Practice can be found in the ITIL 4 Foundation Manual, but AXELOS will also provide a separate series of digital content pieces that will expand on this and provide more detail plus practical guidance.
The content produced for the Practices will serve as a toolbox to IT practitioners and are interrelated to the four core publications that comprise ITIL 4 Managing Professional stream.
