What's new in ITIL V3?


ITIL® V3 makes the link between ITIL's best practice and business benefits both clearer and stronger, taking a lifecycle approach to guidance instead of organising according to IT delivery sectors.

The Core Publications

ITIL is now based on a core of five titles:

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

The new approach changes the relationship between IT and business. Whereas before ITIL worked to align service management with business strategy, V3 integrates into a single ecosystem. The interface between old and new approaches is seamless, and users can build on the successes of V2 by taking IT Service Management even further with V3.

What does ITIL V3 Certification look like?

The structure of ITIL V3

ITIL V3 is available at Foundation, Service Lifecycle and Service Capability levels, as well as the Managing through the Lifecycle qualification required to achieve the new diploma. For those with ITIL V2 qualifications who are planning to upgrade, there are bridging courses available at both Foundation and Manager’s level.
