‘Guiding principles’ are recommendations which can guide organizations in any given circumstance, regardless of any changes made to its goals, strategies, type of work or management structure.

ITIL’s guiding principles form the core messages of the framework, as well as ITSM in general. They are designed to support successful actions and good decisions, and can even help users to adapt ITIL to suit their own circumstances.

Many of ITIL 4’s guiding principles reflect those found in other frameworks, standards and methodologies. These include Lean, Agile, COBIT and DevOps. This allows organizations to easily integrate ITIL 4 into their current service management approach.

These principles are applicable to virtually any initiative or stakeholder group relationship. Most importantly, ITIL’s guiding principles encourage and support organizations in pursuing continual improvement at all levels.

The ITIL 4 Guiding Principles include:

Focus on value
Start where you are
Progress iteratively with feedback
Collaborate and promote visibility
Think and work holistically
Keep it simple and practical
Optimize and automate

This module will introduce you to ITIL’s Guiding Principles, as well as their purpose, flexibility and relationship with other standards and frameworks.

The four dimensions of service management offered by ITIL 4 provide a holistic view of the different constraints, resource types and other points of focus which must be considered when designing, managing or operating an organization.

They include:

Organizations and people
Information and technology
Partners and suppliers
Value streams and processes

By approaching any problems and developments from the perspective of each dimension individually, organizations can ensure that their Service Value System (SVS) is both balanced and effective.

This module will provide you with a clear understanding of the four dimensions of service management outlined in the ITIL 4 syllabus, and how they enable a holistic approach to ITSM.

The ITIL 4 SVS describes the different inputs (opportunity and demand), elements (organizational governance, service management, continual improvement and an organization’s capabilities and resources) and outputs (achievement of organizational objectives and resultant value for the organization and its stakeholders) of effective service management.

The ITIL SVS includes:

The guiding principles
Governance
Service value chain
Practices
Continual improvement

In this module, you will examine how these factors work together within a system in order to create value for connected organizations, as well as their customers and other stakeholders.

The ITIL Service Value Chain (SVC) is a core component of the SVS. IT offers an operating model for creating, delivering and continually improving services. It consists of six activities which can be combined in a number of different ways to create flexible value streams. The SVS can also accommodate different approaches, including DevOps.

This flexibility enables users to adapt services in order to meet changing demands as effectively and efficiently as possible. SVS activities are supported by ITIL practices, creating a highly versatile tool for ITSM.

This module will introduce you to the SVS and how it can be used and adapted to manage different products and services.

This module covers the 18 ITIL 4 Practices. Students will learn the purpose and description of activities for each practice, as well as their place in the Service Value Chain.

The 18 ITIL 4 practices include:

Continual Improvement
Information Security Management
Relationship Management
Supplier Management
Availability Management
Capacity and Performance Management
Change Control
Incident Management
IT Asset Management
Monitoring and Event Management
Problem Management
Release Management
Service Configuration Management
Service Continuity Management
Service Desk
Service Level Management
Service Request Management
Deployment Management

The syllabus requires that students be able to recall the purpose of each practice. We will go into more detail on the 7 most essential practices in the next module.

The 7 ITIL practices can be used to support multiple service value chain activities. Together, they offer practitioners a versatile yet highly comprehensive toolset for approaching ITSM. They include:

Chapter 1: Continual Improvement
Chapter 2: Change Control
Chapter 3: Incident Management
Chapter 4: Problem Management
Chapter 5: Service Request Management
Chapter 6: The Service Desk
Chapter 7: Service Level Management
